Nothing is better than a warm bowl of delicious soup, packed full of nutrients. This healthy broccoli soup is a favorite and a regular in my household, and we especially enjoy it paired with some gluten-free bread such as this one. Hope you like it too.
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 tablespoons good quality butter
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli (about 2 heads)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped
- 4 cups gluten free chicken broth, or homemade
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt, plus extra for sprinkling
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onion and carrots, and saute until onion is translucent, (about 6 minutes).
2. Add broccoli, and chicken broth, sprinkle with a little salt, and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, immediately turn it down to a simmer, and cook uncovered, until broccoli is tender, (about 15 minutes).
3. Pour in cream, and add 1 teaspoon sea salt and pepper, and stir.
4. Carefully transfer to a high-speed blender, and blend until desired consistency. (Or puree soup with an immersion blender).
