Creamy broccoli soup

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook delicious creamy broccoli soup? A very simple recipe that even a novice cook can handle. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can use fresh or frozen broccoli. You need large potatoes; if the potatoes are medium-sized, it is better to take 3-4 pieces. The more potatoes, the thicker the soup will be.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the stem off the cabbage. The weight of the remaining part with inflorescences should be 500 g, so take cabbage with a reserve. Disassemble the remaining part into inflorescences.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the florets in a bowl of cold salted water and leave for 10 minutes. If there are bugs in the cabbage, they will float to the surface.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then drain the water and cut the cabbage into small pieces.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the potatoes and cut into medium cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Chop the garlic with a knife.

8. STEP 8

   

   Boil 1 liter of water in a saucepan, add potatoes and broccoli. Salt everything and mix. Bring the water to a boil and cook the soup over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan and saute the onion and garlic for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

10. STEP 10

    

    Transfer the onions to the soup pot. Boil everything together for 5-7 minutes at a low simmer or a little longer until the vegetables are ready.

11. STEP 11

    

    Grind the soup thoroughly with an immersion blender until smooth and pureed.

12. STEP 12

    

    Pour in the cream and stir. You can add more or less cream and the fat content you like best. Also consider your preference for the consistency of the soup. Return the pan to the heat, bring to a boil, but do not boil.

13. STEP 13

    

    Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. And as soon as the first bubbles appear, remove the pan from the heat.

14. STEP 14

    

    If you wish, you can make croutons from a wheat baguette. To do this, cut half of the baguette into not very thick slices. Heat the butter in a frying pan and fry the croutons on both sides until golden brown. Rub the fried croutons with garlic and lightly salt.

15. STEP 15

    

    Pour the soup into bowls and place croutons on top. Sprinkle the soup with black pepper and serve. Bon appetit!

My daughter asked me to make creamy broccoli soup with cream, she loves it very much. The set of vegetables for this soup, in my opinion, is ideal. Potatoes give it a delicate texture, fried garlic and onions give it an appetizing aroma, and butter and cream give it a velvety taste. Children usually don’t like broccoli, but in this form this healthy cabbage goes great). My cabbage was fresh from the garden, so the soaking advice came in handy. It’s good that there were no insects, but the fine sand that remained at the bottom of the bowl was washed away. Boil the vegetables until soft and then blend with an immersion blender. I took 100 ml of cream so that the consistency of my soup did not become too thin. You can also drain a little broth in advance and use it to adjust the thickness. My daughter really liked the broccoli soup! Thanks for the recipe!

I’ll make a reservation right away, I prepared this creamy broccoli soup with cream for my grandmother, and dairy products are contraindicated for her, so instead of heavy cream I used lactose-free milk. Since the milk is quite thin, I reduced the amount by 30% of the indicated amount of cream. The consistency was just right! The texture of the soup was very nice and I really liked the taste of the soup too. There is nothing superfluous, the minimum amount of spices allows you to really feel the whole delicate taste of broccoli. Maria, thank you for the recipe!
