Ingredients

• 500 g broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 can coconut milk
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp cilantro
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly under running water and set them aside to drain.

Step 2

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, curry powder, and ground cumin to the pot. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets to the pot and stir to coat them in the spice mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend it in batches using a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper, and cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat to let the flavors meld.

Step 9

Add the lemon juice and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the soup is too thick, thin it out with a splash of vegetable stock or water.

Step 10

Remove the soup from heat and ladle it into serving bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm. Optionally, add a swirl of extra coconut milk for presentation.
