Ingredients

• 4 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Almonds, blanched
• 1 medium Carrot, chopped
• 1 large Celery stalk, chopped
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup Almond milk, unsweetened
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, chopped carrot, and chopped celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets, and pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let the vegetables cook for about 10-15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.

Step 6

Meanwhile, in a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the blanched almonds for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown. Set aside.

Step 7

Once the broccoli is tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.

Step 8

Return the blended soup to the pot if using a countertop blender.

Step 9

Add the toasted almonds to the soup, reserving a few for garnish if desired.

Step 10

Stir in the almond milk, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Heat through gently for a few minutes.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 12

Serve the soup hot, garnished with reserved almonds and freshly chopped parsley.
