Cooking steps for Plain Broccoli Soup
- 1Plain broccoli soup is your ultimate green goodness in a bowl—simple, satisfying, and so wholesome it feels like a warm hug on a chilly day. This plain broccoli soup recipe is proof that comfort food doesn't have to be heavy; it's light, fresh, and packed with feel-good vibes.
- 2To get started, grab one medium broccoli, chop it into florets, and give them a quick rinse—sparkly clean veggies are a must.
- 3Next up, prep your flavor boosters: finely chop one medium onion, smash three cloves of garlic for that bold kick, and grate a small piece of ginger for a hint of warmth that ties everything together.
- 4Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a big ol' pot over medium heat, and toss in the onion, garlic, and ginger.
- 5Saut until the onion turns soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes—it's already smelling amazing, right? Now, add your broccoli florets and stir them around to soak up all that aromatic goodness.
- 6Sprinkle in 0.25 teaspoons of salt, letting the broccoli mingle with the flavors for another 2-3 minutes. Pour in just enough water to cover the broccoli (or use veggie stock for extra depth) and crank up the heat until it starts to boil.
- 7Then, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes or until the broccoli is fork-tender—soft enough to blend, but still rocking its vibrant green glow.
- 8Take the pot off the heat and let it cool slightly because no one likes a blender explosion.
- 9Use an immersion blender directly in the pot, or transfer the soup in batches to a stand blender, and blend it until smooth and creamy.
- 10If the consistency feels too thick, add a splash of water and stir it through.
- 11Once blended, return the soup to the pot and add 0.05 teaspoons of black pepper powder for that gentle heat and a splash of 0.05 teaspoons of lemon juice to brighten things up.
- 12Taste test for seasoning (because balance is everything) and let it warm through on low heat.
- 13Serve this beauty hot, maybe with a drizzle of olive oil on top or a slice of crusty bread for dipping if you're feeling fancy.
- 14This recipe of plain broccoli soup is a go-to for those cozy, feel-good moments—a total game-changer for anyone looking to level up their soup game with minimal effort and maximum flavor. Enjoy!
