Broccoli Soup

This Broccoli Soup is creamy and delicious; you'll never guess it's vegan!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated, if possible)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 6 cups vegetable stock
• 3 cups chopped broccoli (stems included, from about 1 large head)
• 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat the oil in a large stock pot over medium heat.
2. 2Add the onion and cook until softened and slightly browned, about 8 minutes
3. 3Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
4. 4Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vegetable stock and bring to a simmer.
5. 5Add the broccoli and bring to a simmer again. Simmer until the broccoli is soft, about 10 minutes.
6. 6Stir in the beans.
7. 7Transfer 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.
8. 8Bring the soup back to temperature on the stove.
9. 9Enjoy!
