This bright green colored soup-purée (or cream soup) made of chicken, broccoli and some other vegies is probably the quickest to prepare soup I know.

It is also nutritious: loaded with healthy vegetables and white chicken meat, which are boiled, pureed and blended together for tasty creamy texture.

All that makes this soup very good choice not only for kids, but also for people who prefer soft food.

Ingredients:

• 2lbs of broccoli crowns
• 1lb of skinless boneless chicken breast
• 2-3 medium potatoes
• 1 carrot
• Piece of celery root (about ¼ of small root)
• 1 leek stem or 2 shallots
• 1 cup of heavy cream or smaller amount of sour cream
• Ground pepper to taste
• Salt pepper to taste
