Ingredients for Cream of Broccoli
Directions for Cream of Broccoli
1. Prepare the vegetables
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. Cook the broccoli
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
3. Blend the soup
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches, but be careful with the hot liquid.
4. Add cream and seasonings
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Heat gently until warmed through. Do not boil.
5. Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional black pepper or a drizzle of cream if desired.
