Sopa de brócolis

Ingredientes

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated, if possible)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 6 cups vegetable stock

   Heat the oil in a large stock pot over medium heat.

   Add the onion and cook until softened and slightly browned, about 8 minutes

   Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vegetable stock and bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Transfer the soup, in batches if necessary, to a blender. Blend on medium to desired consistency. I prefer to leave some texture, but you can also blend until perfectly smooth if you prefer.
