Broccoli is a very healthy and nutritious vegetable for all of us. Unfortunately, there are many broccoli haters out there who think that the vegetable tastes bad. However, I believe that they just aren’t eating it right. My scrumptious broccoli soup is just one of the ways to consume this ingredient whilst enjoying or even loving the dish you are eating. Many recipes use cream to make the soup rich and creamy but this also hugely increases the number of calories in it and makes the nutritional value of the broccoli worthless. My recipe will provide you with thick creamy soup but without using any cream, maintaining all of its nutritional value.

So here’s what you need to make this scrumptious broccoli soup.

Ingredients for Broccoli Soup

Around 400 g of broccoli
3-4 garlic cloves
Small piece of ginger
Half a medium sized onion
Black pepper (to taste)
Salt (to taste)
2 tbsp butter
Croutons

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4

Step-by-step recipe

Cut the broccoli into large chunks and wash them thoroughly. Then put them to boil until they are cooked and feel soft. When this happens, drain the water and keep them aside.

Chop up the onion, garlic and ginger.

Melt some butter on a pan and then add the garlic and ginger. Stir for a bit and then add the onions. Allow them to cook until they brown slightly.

Fry the onion, garlic and ginger on a pan

Once they have browned, add the boiled broccoli and mix it in well.

Add all of the contents of the pan to a blender to form a paste. Then add some hot water and blend again to make the paste smoother.

Heat 1 tbsp of butter in a saucepan and then add the blended paste.

Add some hot water to the blending container and pour the contents into the saucepan. This clears any leftover paste in the container and also makes the soup slightly thinner and smoother.
