We really love brocolli and this is yet another great recipe for a healthy soup. This one is really easy to make and it doesn't take much time at all. We usually replace half the milk with heavy cream - this really takes this to the next level of richness and flavour. We hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 cup milk (or 1/2 cup milk + 1/2 cup cream)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
- Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Spread potatoes and broccoli onto a microwave-safe plate. Cook in microwave until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. If you have the time you could also steam them for a sikly smooth taste.
- Place onion, potatoes, broccoli, milk, chicken broth, pepper, salt, ginger, and thyme in a blender and pulse blend until smooth. Pour into a pot and gently heat to serving temperature.
