This nice creamy soup has a fresh mint flavor and its packed with vitamins and minerals. I made it up by putting together several recipes I found on the internet. Hope you all will enjoy making this soup as much as we did.

2. Pour the olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic and cook until translucent for about 3 minutes, when its is done,
3. Add broccoli and little salt along with 2 cups of vegetable stock or water; cover and cook it for 3 minutes or until the broccoli starts to soft (Note : Don’t over cook it), remove from the fire and let it cool.
4. Transfer the above to blender or to food processor, add yogurt mixture and puree for 1-2 minutes. (Note : You might find that the soup is too thick at this point you can add a bit of butter milk or water or a little more stock to thin it out. )
