Broccoli soup with spinach

To turn a regular vegetable soup into an interesting dish, just add an egg to it. But not an ordinary one, but a poached egg. If it is cooked correctly, then when cutting the yolk will flow out, mix with the broth, forming an amazing creamy, silky texture and successfully shading the taste of vegetables. We highly recommend trying it.
