Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and vegetable stock to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let the broccoli cook for 10–12 minutes until tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, work in batches to blend the soup in a blender, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat for another 2–3 minutes but do not let it boil.
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve with crusty bread on the side.
