Creamy Broccoli Soup
Creamy, easy, and healthy, this blended soup is a snap toput together, especially if you buy a 3 lb. bag of broccoli florets at Costco!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. broccoli florets
- 3/4 cup onion roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic peeled
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- ¼ tsp. nutmeg
- 4 cups vegetable stock or chicken stock
- ¾ cup half and half
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Croutons optional
Instructions
- Place the broccoli florets, the onion, and garlic, thyme, and nutmeg in a large stockpot and cover with the stock.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn down the heat, cover, and continue to cook for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are soft but not mushy.
- Blend in batches (or use an immersion blender). Rinse out your pot and return the blended soup to the pot.
- Stir in the half and half and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reheat until hot and serve with croutons and/or crème fraiche if you like.
