Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 50 grams sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 800 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the broccoli. Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced almonds and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown. Stir regularly to prevent burning. Remove half of the almonds and set them aside for garnishing.
Step 4
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 7
Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let the soup cook for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Step 8
Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Step 9
Stir in the heavy cream, sea salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Gently reheat the soup over low heat without bringing it to a boil.
Step 10
Serve the soup hot, garnished with the reserved toasted almonds. Enjoy your Keto Broccoli Almond Soup!
