It doesn’t happen often as I am quite good at using up Vegetables. However, today I found a head of Broccoli that was in an opaque plastic bag and it had turned yellow. I always cook this soup when I find Broccoli that turned yellow. This is a simple recipe but it is a great recipe to enjoy such Broccoli that is not so great anymore.
