I once had this cream of broccoli and almond soup in one of the Veg Fine Dining restaurants in Chennai. I simply loved it!!! However, this is not a very frequent menu which you can find in most of the restaurants.I was craving to have this soup and hence made it at home one day.Trust me, It came out really well :)!!!. This is one soup which is not only delicious and creamy,but also combines the goodness of broccoli and almonds.Here goes the recipe for the delicious,creamy and nutritious soup :)

2. Next,add water to the pan and pressure cook for 3 whistles and switch off the flame.
3. After the contents are cooled, grind the cooked broccoli+onion,almonds together in a mixer at a high speed.
4. Heat the above ground mixture in a pan on a low flame. Adjust adding water depending on the consistency required. Do not add too much water that it starts to become watery and thin.
