Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Optional: grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets and set aside.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves and yellow onion.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic and onion to the pot, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and stir to coat them in the oil mixture. Cook for 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or transfer it to a blender in batches and then return it to the pot).
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat through for 2-3 minutes without boiling.
If using, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top before serving.
Serve the soup warm with crusty bread or crackers on the side. Enjoy!
