Chef Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. After blanching the broccoli in very hot water, refresh it under cold water, in order to retain the beautiful green colour of the Vegetables.<\/li>\n
  2. You may add more vegetable stock, to adjust the consistency.<\/li>\n
  3. Do not prepare the soup covered as the soup will be of a pale green colour instead of a beautiful bright green colour.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
