Soup always does well with children, and when serving vegetable stock with cheese stars it becomes pure indulgence. Delicious, homemade, and to easy make the recipe. It does well with the kids.
At the words Creamy broccoli cappuccino my children did not exactly become excited. Or rather not at all. For a tomato soup or a broth, you can win their hearts, but this was a bridge too far.
So this year they get a delicious vegetable broth with the addition of homemade cheese stars. When I made this test meal before serving it for Christmas, it was eaten with great taste. And the vegetable broth was also needed for the creamy broccoli cappuccino, so no extra work was added to my Christmas dinner preparations.
