When the weather is cold or when we feel a little tired, nothing feels better than a warm bowl of soup. One of the tastiest and healthiest soups we can make at home is Broccoli and Potato Soup. It is smooth, creamy, and full of flavour. Even if you don’t always like broccoli, you will enjoy it in this soup because the potato makes it soft and gentle in taste.
Ingredients
- Broccoli – 150gms
- Potato – 150 gms (peeled and diced)
- Onion – 1 (chopped)
- Carrot – 1 small
- Celery leaves – 1
- Butter or olive oil – 2 tbsp
- Vegetable stock or water – 1 cup
- Milk or cream – 1/4 cup (optional, for creaminess)

Broccoli is a green vegetable that looks like a tiny tree. It is very good for our body because it has vitamins that make us strong and help us fight germs. Potatoes are soft and filling, and they give us energy to play, run, and learn. When we put both of them together in a soup, we get a perfect mix of taste and health.
This soup is not only for grown-ups but also for small children. It is so mild and smooth that even a 1-year-old child can enjoy it. Many parents give this soup to their babies because it is easy to swallow and very gentle on the tummy. Since it has no strong spices, it is safe and healthy for little ones.
Another nice thing about this soup is that it feels like comfort food. When we drink it, it feels like a warm hug in a bowl. You can have it for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack in the evening. It is also a great way to eat more vegetables without even noticing.
Families love this soup because it brings everyone together at the table. You can enjoy it with bread, or even just by itself. It is creamy without needing too much cream, so it is also a good choice if you want to eat light but still feel full.
So next time you want something warm, healthy, and tasty, try a bowl of broccoli and potato soup. It is simple, rich in flavour, and full of goodness for every age. From little babies to grown-ups, everyone will smile after having it!
