Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 50 grams sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 800 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Begin by preparing the broccoli. Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced almonds and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown. Stir regularly to prevent burning. Remove half of the almonds and set them aside for garnishing.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let the soup cook for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, sea salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Gently reheat the soup over low heat without bringing it to a boil.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with the reserved toasted almonds. Enjoy your Keto Broccoli Almond Soup!
