Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 1 medium onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and stir to coat them with the onion and garlic mixture.
Step 5
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Step 6
Use an immersion blender to carefully purée the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy, then return it to the pot.
Step 7
Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper. Let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
Step 8
If desired, garnish with grated parmesan cheese before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
