      Hi Bhavana,

      Excellent recipe! Made it yesterday and we totally loved it. I added half cup chopped carrots with the broccoli stems and didn't have stock cubes so simply added hot water. Although I had to add a little more water (probably due to the carrots) than mentioned in the recipe. End result was super yummy. Thanks so much for sharing it! Looking forward to try your other recipes.

      I had to add about a cup more of liquid to get this to a soup consistency. I added a splash of almond milk too.
