Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1 medium potato
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional garnish)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Chop the broccoli florets into smaller pieces if needed. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and peel and dice the potato into small cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the potato cubes and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the broccoli florets. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli and potato are tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the low-fat milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Reheat the soup over low heat, stirring gently, without bringing it to a boil.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, serve each bowl garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Enjoy your healthy and delicious cream of broccoli soup!
