Broccoli Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
• 2 (10 ounce) packages chopped frozen broccoli, thawed
• 1 potato, peeled and chopped
• 4 cups chicken broth
• teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan. Saut for 3-5 minutes, or until the onion becomes tender and translucent.

Step 3: Add the thawed broccoli, chopped potato, and chicken broth to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 4: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5: Use an immersion blender to pure the soup directly in the saucepan. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.

Step 6: If needed, reheat the soup and season it with ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well before serving.
