How to Make Cozy Creamy Broccoli Soup
- Wash and chop your fresh broccoli, onion, and garlic into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until they become translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the chopped broccoli and 4 cups of vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then let it simmer for around 15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
- Carefully transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth.
- Return the blended soup back to the pot. Stir in 1 cup of cream, then season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Heat gently.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra broccoli florets or crispy croutons.
