I love creams of vegetables, especially without milk or cream. They are healthier and lighter, like this cream of broccoli. Usually, I thicken my creams with potatoes, but this time I used oatmeal, and the result was fantastic. I recommend it.
This soup is very nutritious, and the nutmeg and chopped walnuts make it more delectable.
