Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 large carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 liter vegetable stock
- 1 medium potato
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 ml cream (optional)
Instructions
Wash and chop the broccoli florets, carrots, celery, and potato into bite-sized pieces.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped carrots, celery, and potato. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the broccoli florets, vegetable stock, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. Alternatively, blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender (be careful with hot liquids).
Optionally, stir in the cream for a richer flavor and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
