Method
In a pan boil the broccoli, peas, almonds, garlic clove and stock in the water for 6-8 minutes until the broccoli is soft.
Remove from the heat and drain or ladle out half of the liquid, setting the liquid aside.
Blend the ingredients together, adding more liquid if needed to get the desired consistency.
Add the splash of milk and salt and pepper to taste.
Turn on the grill to medium, toast the bread on one side for a minute, then sprinkle the parmesan over the uncooked side and grill for a couple of minutes until the cheese has melted. Serve with the soup.
