ingredients
Steps
Preparation
Clean the broccoli and separate it into florets. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.
Sauté Aromatics
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Cook and Blend
Add the broccoli florets to the pot, pour in the vegetable broth, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is completely tender. Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until creamy. If it's too thick, add a little more broth.
Finish and Serve
Stir in the cooking cream, mix well, and gently reheat without boiling. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or toasted seeds.
Extra Tips
► For an even creamier texture, add a small cooked potato to the broccoli before blending.
► Serve with toasted seeds or croutons for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
► Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 2-3 days.
