Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (chopped, including stems) Broccoli
- 1 medium (peeled and diced) Potato
- 1 medium (chopped) Onion
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped broccoli (reserve a few florets for garnish if desired) and diced potato. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the broccoli and potato are tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches in a countertop blender.
Stir in the nonfat plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend for another 30 seconds to combine thoroughly.
Reheat the soup gently if needed, without bringing it to a boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with reserved broccoli florets and fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your hearty, low-fat broccoli soup!
