Carrot and broccoli soup

I had some bread left from last night baking, so I thought of making some soup to finish the bread for my lunch. I could never enjoy a meal without vegetables, so any kind of vegetables should make me find and feel palatable.

Cream soup will be more pleasant to my taste when vegetables are added into it. I toasted the bread slices until they became crispy, then enjoyed them with hot soup. A very full meal for my lunch. But I gained enough energy for continuing with my work for the rest of the day.
