Creamy Broccoli Soup
Serves 8
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 garlics, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups mashed potato (500 g)
- 2 small heads broccoli, including stems, chopped
- 2 ½ cups low sodium vegetable broth (600 mL)
- 2 ½ cups milk (600 mL), of your choice
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until semi-translucent. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes more, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the mashed potatoes, broccoli, vegetable broth, and milk and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.
- Stir in the nutmeg, then ladle into bowls.
