There are days when all you want is a warm bowl of homemade soup.

This Creamy Broccoli Soup is one of those simple recipes I come back to again and again. It's easy to make, wonderfully comforting, and comes together in very little time.

Whether you're serving it for lunch, as a light dinner, or as a starter for guests, it's a recipe that feels nourishing without requiring much effort.

One of the things I love most about this soup is that it uses the whole broccoli, including the stem, helping to reduce food waste while adding plenty of flavour.

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 broccoli
1 onion
1 large garlic clove
⅓ chilli
1 tbsp ghee or coconut oil
5 dl vegetable broth or bouillon
2 dl oat cream
Himalayan salt and black pepper, to taste

Method

Wash the broccoli thoroughly. If desired, soak it in cold water with a splash of vinegar before rinsing.
Use the whole broccoli, including the stem.
Chop the onion, garlic, chilli, and broccoli into pieces.
Heat the ghee or coconut oil in a saucepan.
Add the onion, garlic, and chilli and cook until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Add the vegetable broth and broccoli.
Cover with a lid and simmer until the broccoli stems are tender.
Remove from the heat.
Use a hand blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the oat cream.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
