Hey guys! I'm El Cookerino and today, I'm going to show you how to make this extremely tasty and healthy broccoli soup, completely stress-free and ready in just 10 minutes. I always have the ingredients at home because I make this soup at least once a week!
Ingredients for two servings:
1 medium-sized head of broccoli
3 slices of whole-grain bread
1 garlic clove
1 sprig of thyme
1/4 bundle of chives
60g Parmesan cheese
50g butter
60ml cream
Salt, pepper, nutmeg
Some canola oil
Preparation:
Dice the broccoli into evenly sized pieces. Slice the stem into thin rounds (the last piece is woody and should not be used for the soup). Bring around 700ml of water to a boil and lightly salt it. Carefully add the broccoli into the boiling water and cook for 6-8 minutes. It should be cooked but not overcooked.
For the croutons, cut 3 slices of whole-grain bread into even cubes. Crush one garlic clove and pluck one sprig of thyme. Heat up 3 tablespoons of canola oil in a large pan. Add bread cubes, garlic, and thyme into the pan along with a generous amount of salt. On medium heat, constantly toss the bread cubes until they turn golden brown.
Finely chop 1/4 bundle of chives. Finely grate 60g of Parmesan cheese.
Put the broccoli into a blender. Add around 300ml of the cooking water and keep the remaining cooking water aside. Add 50g of butter and 50ml of cream. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Blend everything together until a homogeneous mixture is formed. Taste and check the consistency. If needed, add more seasoning or more cooking water. Serve the soup in a deep bowl and garnish it with croutons, Parmesan, remaining cream, pepper, and chives.
Have fun cooking and enjoy! 😃
