Broccoli Almond Soup | Broccoli Badam Shorva

Soups are our fav go-to dishes at home. Having a flavourful homemade stock at home cuts down the lead time to making soups. With the Monsoon lashing in my town this last fortnight, this was a filling weekday dinner with some toasted Garlic bread on the side. 

Broccoli packs a punch with nutrient dense vitamins and fibre and almonds adds good fats + fibre too. All in all, a great reason to dig into a warm bowl of soup, right?

    Nice and healthy broccoli badam soup. The addition of gram dal must have given an Indian flavour to it. Perfect for the present weather.

    This is a nice and healthy soup. It is also a good way of adding almonds to kids diet. The idea of adding moong dal makes the soup more nutritive

    That’s a lovely creamy and delicious looking soup Kalyani. I usually make Broccoli Almond soup but without moong dal. Love that idea, makes it more healthier and adds more protein.
