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)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and chop the broccoli florets, carrots, celery, and potato into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped carrots, celery, and potato. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the broccoli florets, vegetable stock, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

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).

Step 9

Optionally, stir in the cream for a richer flavor and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
