Coconut cream and broccoli potage
This broccoli potage is a pure product of this beautiful white season! Yes, broccoli is a winter vegetable 😉
Here in Stockholm, winter is white, icy and very active. Cross-country skiing, ice skating on various ice rinks and frozen lakes, sledging and even mountain biking, for the Suedes “there is no bad weather, there are just bad clothes”.
There is nothing better than a good soup to warm us up from the inside out after all these snowy activities. This broccoli potage with coconut, is easy to make, super creamy and full of vitamins.
