Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 100 grams almonds
- 1 liter vegetable broth
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 250 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Soak the almonds in hot water for at least 30 minutes before preparing the soup. This will soften them and make blending easier.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
Drain the soaked almonds and place them in a blender along with the almond milk. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Once the broccoli is tender, add the almond mixture to the soup pot, stirring well to combine.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend the soup in batches in a countertop blender. Be cautious with the hot liquid.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with sliced almonds or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
