Ingredients

• 500 grams broccoli florets
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 1 medium potato
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional garnish)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Chop the broccoli florets into smaller pieces if needed. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and peel and dice the potato into small cubes.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the potato cubes and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the broccoli florets. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli and potato are tender.

Step 5

Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the low-fat milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Reheat the soup over low heat, stirring gently, without bringing it to a boil.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, serve each bowl garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Step 8

Enjoy your healthy and delicious cream of broccoli soup!
