Ingredients

• 500 grams broccoli
• 1 medium-sized onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 750 milliliters vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 100 milliliters low-fat milk (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli thoroughly and chop it into small florets. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the broccoli florets to the pot and stir to coat them in the oil and aromatics. Cook for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the broccoli is fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 5

Cover the pot and let the broccoli cook for 10-12 minutes, or until it becomes tender.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender (or transferring the soup in batches to a regular blender), blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Be careful with hot liquids while blending.

Step 7

If the soup is too thick, you can add the optional low-fat milk and blend again to reach the desired consistency.

Step 8

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
