So this recipe was inspired because a few days after we got home from our honeymoon, my husband (still feels weird saying that!) had to get oral surgery and found out that he couldn’t eat solid foods for 6-8 weeks!
Now, for people who LOVE to eat, this was devastating news! We originally thought it would be a 2-3 DAY recovery, so we stocked up on some pre-made soups and easy-to-eat things like pastina and ice cream!! :)
We figured that it would be ok to eat whatever we wanted during the recovery period since it would only be a few days. (And yes, even though I didn’t have the surgery, my rule of marriage is that you get to do whatever your spouse gets to do!! haha)
Well, once we went back to the oral surgeon and found out that it wasn’t a weekend recovery but rather a couple of months, I knew we couldn’t live on pasta, pre-made soups, and ice cream for that entire time. (Even though it was tempting!)
I decided to make a few big batches of healthy soups to eat throughout the week. I don’t really make a ton of soups regularly and didn’t have recipes to follow, so I kind of made it up as I went. Thankfully, this cream of broccoli soup came out pretty well!
Let me know what you think! Enjoy :)
