Healthy Broccoli Soup

Healthy Broccoli Soup

09 Nov 2022 by Ted Escobedo   2 min read

Broccoli is abundant in the fall and perfect for steaming, roasting, or adding to stir-fries. Broccoli can be used as a base for soup as a great way to mix up the typical side of veggies, especially if certain members of the family aren’t crazy about the vegetable’s texture.
A cup of chopped broccoli, aside from being packed with vitamins and fiber, contains a compound called sulforaphane which is a nutrient that may protect against certain cancers.
Here is a recipe for ‘healthier’ broccoli soup that will be a warm addition to your fall supper table.
Healthy Broccoli Soup:
Ingredients
• 1 tablespoon Oil
• 1 teaspoon chopped Garlic
• 1 medium Onion sliced
• 1 large head Broccoli cut into florets
• 2 medium Potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Water
• 1 cup Milk
• ½ cup Broccoli Florets extra
• ¼ cup diced Carrots extra
• ¼ cup grated Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
• Heat oil in a pot and sauté garlic and onions till the onions are translucent.
• Add broccoli, potatoes, salt and water and bring this to a boil. Once this comes to a roaring boil, reduce the flame and simmer for 15-20 minutes till the broccoli and potatoes are fork tender.
• Let the mixture cool and blend this with milk till the soup is creamy and well blended.
• Pour this back into the pot and add broccoli florets and carrots if using. Simmer this for 5-10 minutes, mix in the grated cheddar and turn off the flame. Serve hot.
