Ingredients
For this scrumptious soup, you’ll need:
- 4 cups fresh broccoli, chopped
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk or any non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your own amazing soup.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they’re translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, just until it’s fragrant.
- Add the chopped broccoli and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
- Once the broccoli is nice and soft, remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it’s smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender. Just be careful, it’s hot!
- After blending, stir in the coconut milk for that extra creaminess. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you’re feelin’ spicy!
- Return the pot to low heat and warm the soup for another couple of minutes if needed.
- Serve it up warm, garnished with some extra broccoli bits, a swirl of coconut milk, or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs.
