Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until they turn translucent and fragrant.
- Add the garlic: Toss in the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute until just fragrant.
- Add the broccoli: Introduce the broccoli florets, stirring together with the onions and garlic for about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the broth: Add the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
- Blend the soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. For an extra creamy texture, reserve some broccoli florets to add back in after blending.
- Stir in the goat cheese: Return the soup to low heat and stir in the crumbled goat cheese until melted and incorporated.
- Season and serve: Taste and add salt and pepper as needed, then serve hot, garnished with extra goat cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
This soup freezes beautifully. For a vegan version, substitute goat cheese with cashew cream or coconut cream.
