Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Broccoli florets
- 500 ml Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 120 ml Low-fat milk
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the broccoli and cut it into small florets. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender (or transferring in batches to a countertop blender), puree the soup until smooth.
Return the pureed soup to low heat and stir in the low-fat milk. Add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Allow the soup to warm through for 2-3 minutes, but do not let it come to a boil.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
