For a weekly winter dinner once you get home from work, whip up this delicious and simple creamy broccoli soup: it requires just a few ingredients for a warm, creamy and healthy dish.
Ingredients
- 500 g of Broccoli
- 3 Potatoes
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Onion
- 500 ml of Vegetable broth
- Salt & pepper as needed
- 2 Tablespoons of olive oil
- 100 g Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Remove the stems from the broccoli, divide them into florets and wash them.
- Dice the onion & carrot into rounds and potatoes into cubes, and set aside.
- Wilt the chopped onion and carrot in oil in a large saucepan.
Add the broccoli and cook for a few minutes. - Add the cut potato and cook for a few minutes.
- Now cover with the vegetable stock and season with salt and pepper and cook for about 30 minutes. (Remember to set aside some broccoli florets that you will need to garnish the dish).
- After the 30 minutes have passed, check to see if all the vegetables have softened and at this point puree the vegetables with an immersion blender.
- Keep the creamy soup on the stove for a few minutes adding the grated Parmesan cheese and, if you prefer, a little pepper.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and some croutons.
To give a touch of crunch to your broccoli soup, pan-fry some bacon and then add it to the dish at the end of preparation!
Notes
- If you want to give an aromatic touch to your broccoli soup, you can also add some thyme, chili pepper or ginger.
