Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (chopped) yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup (optional, for topping) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and vegetable broth to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.
Return the soup to the pot (if blended in batches) and stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently over low heat, stirring often, until the soup is warmed through.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for a satisfying meal.
