Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 100 grams fresh spinach
- 1 medium potato
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and set them aside.
Peel and dice the yellow onion and garlic cloves. Peel and chop the potato into small cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add the chopped potato and broccoli florets to the pot. Stir to coat them with the oil and aromatics.
Pour the vegetable broth into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender.
Add the fresh spinach to the pot and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches into a blender and blend until creamy.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the soup warm with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
