Brokoli Çorba~Broccoli Soup

This soup was a nice change from the everyday lentil we normally have. It had a fresh velvety texture.
Serve with a slice of fresh crusty bread. Drizzle some olive oil on a piece of French bread and broil for a few moments in the oven. It makes for a deliciously, crunchy, creamy lunch. Afiyet Olsun!
