Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
Other
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil. In a pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering to prepare for sautéing the aromatic vegetables.
- Sauté onions and garlic. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until they become soft and translucent, releasing their flavors.
- Add broccoli and broth. Incorporate the broccoli florets and pour in the vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
- Simmer the soup. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, allowing the broccoli to become tender and the flavors to meld.
- Blend the soup. Using an immersion blender or a standard blender, puree the soup until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Stir in coconut milk and season. Pour in the coconut milk to add richness, then season the soup with salt and freshly ground pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Serve hot. Ladle the hot, creamy soup into bowls and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- For a thinner consistency, add more vegetable broth or water before blending.
- You can garnish with toasted nuts or fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor and texture.
- Coconut milk adds creaminess and a subtle sweetness; you can substitute with almond milk for a less rich version, though the texture may differ slightly.
- If you prefer a chunkier soup, blend only half of the soup and mix it back with the remaining broccoli pieces.
