This Italian recipe shows you how to make a soothing clear soup with crunchy and colourful veggies like broccoli and carrots, which compete and contrast with each other in appearance and flavour. While onions, garlic and celery enhance the flavour of this soup, macaroni adds volume to it and sun-dried tomatoes impart an exciting tanginess. Garnish the Clear Broccoli and Carrot Soup with grated Parmesan cheese and serve fresh and hot.
