Broccoli Feta Cheese Soup
Broccoli feta soup is a creamy soup containing all the goodness of broccoli and feta cheese. This delightful soup is a twist away from the traditional blue cheese option as a crumbly feta is used. The feta is deliciously melted in the soup and crumbled on the top for decoration and extra flavour.
