🌿 Broccoli Soup Recipe (Serves 6)

Broccoli soup is a great choice for those looking for a healthy and delicious option. Prepared with broccoli, which is a source of vitamins and minerals, this soup offers a warming alternative, especially on cold days. Here is our easy and nutritious broccoli soup recipe step by step:

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 medium potato
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 liter of vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 500 grams of broccoli
  • 1 tea glass of milk (cream can also be used if desired)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Grated nutmeg (optional)
  • For the topping: Croutons or grated cheddar cheese

👩‍🍳 Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Vegetables

Chop the onion into cubes. Finely chop the garlic. Peel the potato and carrot and cut them into small pieces. Separate the broccoli into florets and wash them well.

2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic

Put the olive oil in the pot and heat it. Add the onion and fry until it turns slightly pink. Then add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.

3. Add the Vegetables

Add the potatoes and carrots and fry for a few more minutes. Then add the vegetable broth and cook until the vegetables are soft (about 10-15 minutes).

4. Add the Broccoli

After the vegetables are soft, add the broccoli and boil for another 7-8 minutes. Remove the broccoli from the stove before it loses its vibrant green color.

5. Blend

After removing the soup from the stove, use a hand blender to blend until it reaches a smooth consistency.

6. Add the Milk and Spices

Put the soup back on the stove once it has become smooth. Add the milk (or cream, if you prefer). Add salt, pepper and optionally some grated nutmeg. After boiling, turn off the heat.

🍽️ Serving Suggestion

Serve your broccoli soup hot. You can enhance its flavor by drizzling croutons, a pinch of grated kashar cheese or a few drops of olive oil on top. You can serve it with whole wheat bread on the side.

🥦 Tips

  • Be careful not to over-boil the broccoli; if overcooked, its color may darken and its vitamins may decrease.
  • You can slightly increase the amount of potatoes for a thicker soup.
  • If you want a vegan version, you can use plant-based milk instead of milk.
