Recipe 10: Cream of Broccoli Soup

In my days of trying to lose weight I relied heavily on carb-free meals or more correctly light carb meals to get me through. In trying to avoid as much potato, pasta and bread as possible I fell in love with a number of recipes from the SureSlim collection. I particularly love this one, as my husband never eats broccoli and so whenever we get it in my "vege surprise box" I know exactly what I am going to do with it and I know that it freezes and thaws brilliantly, meaning I can make a huge batch and freeze it out when I need it. Sometimes as well, I also add cauliflower for a different taste.
