Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 3 medium Carrots
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Vegetable stock
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Wash and prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, peel and slice the carrots, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots and broccoli florets to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic.
Pour in the vegetable stock and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cook the vegetables for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots and broccoli are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Turn off the heat and let the soup cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot, or blend it in batches in a countertop blender until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Return the pot to low heat and warm the soup through, stirring occasionally, but do not let it boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the soup hot with crusty bread or croutons for a comforting meal.
