Soup day: creamy broccoli

I was half thinking of cooking this up because its so frosty outside - and then decided to keep it raw but use warm water.

All would have been well - except...

I just had to throw in the last of the sprouts. 4 of them. Well, that wasn't a good idea. They are brash and bitter. I nearly didn't finish my bowl.

I've had a mineral taste in my mouth all afternoon. Not even a handful of Quality sweets can erase it. As someone saud, previously - sprouts are 'food of the devil'. Well, this way they are!
