few stalk of Flat Leaf Parsle, I usually didn;t chopped them but it's OK. it's the flavour that I need. 
1 tbsp of butter or 1 tbsp of cooking oil
2 - 3 cups of water
Whatever meat you like, sausage, chicken, beef, OR mushroom, tofu, meatballs.. etc.. You can also go without this if you just want vegetable soup. - Cut the meat to smaller pieces for faster cooking time.

Directions:
1. Heat the oil or melt the butter then sweat the onions and garlics
2. If you are using Meat or protein of any kind... bring this in first after the onions and garlic soften.
3. Stir until the meat turn color, add water
4. Let it simmer about 5 minutes to make sure the meat are cooked.
5. Put the carrots in. Let it simmer for another 3 - 5 minutes until the carrot soften a bit.
6. Bring in the Broccoli florets and the Flat leaf parsley
7. Add salt and Pepper. Taste it to your liking.
8. Soup is ready

Note: you can add Stock cube if you like but remember put the stock cube first and taste it before you add any salt. Stock cubes are salty.
