Creamy Broccoli Soup (Dairy-Free)

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups broccoli florets
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup full-fat coconut cream
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. 1

   Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath — this shock stops the cooking and locks in the bright green color, instead of a dull, overcooked soup.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic 4-5 minutes until softened.

3. 3

   Add the blanched broccoli and vegetable broth, simmer 8-10 minutes.

4. 4

   Puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth.

5. 5

   Stir in coconut cream, season with salt and pepper, and warm through before serving.
