Soup:Creamy Broccoli Soup

I am not a big cook, but winter makes life easier when you can chop up a pile of veggies and have some great full flavoured warming soup. My work mate Maureen, gave me these fantastic recipes which I will share with you. I've tried them all and they are great.

1 tablespoon butter
1 onion chopped
clove garlic crushed
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon rice
375g broccoli, trimmed and chopped
1 tbsp parsley

1 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsps cream

Method

This is yummy and contains a lot of healthy ingredients plus some decadent ones.
