Broccoli Soup!!!

I buy broccoli almost every week hoping that my son eats something healthy. But everyday, its a big and a tough job feeding him. I have to think of different ways to cook the same food. I thought of making soup with the broccoli this time. It came out really well and tasted good, though he had a small portion of it, we had a hearty meal!!!:))

Ingredients-
Broccoli- 300g(Cut into individual florets with the stalk)
Onion-1(chopped)
Garlic- 2 cloves(chopped)
Ginger- 1"(chopped)
Potato - 1 cut in cubes
Vegetable stock- 2cups
Milk- 1 cup
salt to tatse
Pepper- 1tsp
oil- 1tbspn

Method-
Heat oil in a pan. Add the garlic, ginger and onions and cook till the onions turns soft. Add potatoes and broccoli. Stir well adding vegetable stock, milk and 2 cups of water. Cook till broccoli turns tender. Add salt and pepper. Blend everything together.
Serve hot.
I am sending this to easycrafts WYF-soups, salads and starters event.
