Thanksgiving side dishes/8 recipes

On a rainy day, sit down and enjoy this savory broccoli soup that's easy to make and healthy for you.

This is a wonderful recipe for either a dinner party or Sunday lunch. Whether or not you use redcurrants in the actual sauce or purely as a decoration depends very much on the time of year and variety of redcurrants you can find.

If you do not use fresh berries add a little extra redcurrant jelly.
