Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (chopped) yellow onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 500 grams (florets and tender stems) broccoli
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup mascarpone cheese
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
- 1 loaf (optional, for serving) crusty bread
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and tender stems to the pot. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend carefully.
Return the soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the mascarpone cheese and whole milk until fully incorporated and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot, optionally paired with slices of crusty bread for dipping.
