Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic clove, minced
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the raw almonds and boil for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Peel the almonds by pinching them; the skins should slip off easily.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté 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, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Add the peeled almonds to the pot and stir to combine.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the mixture in batches to a countertop blender.
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk, salt, ground black pepper, and fresh lemon juice.
Warm the soup over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving hot.
