Easy broccoli soup
This broccoli soup is very easy to make and it’s very healthy too. Ideal for weekday lunch and for kids (though if you’re making it for young kids don’t garnish it with almond!). Serve with crusty bread or toasted ciabatta.
Ingredients
Method
- Cut the florets off and chop the stem into small chunks.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the garlic until it softens.
- Pour the stock over the garlic and add the broccoli florets & stem bits. Add more stock if it doesn’t cover the broccoli completely.
- Bring to the boil then lower the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until tender.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Season to taste and using a hand-blender whiz until you get a smooth, silky soup.
- Serve the soup with yogurt, sour cream or goat cheese and a few almonds.
