Cream of Broccoli Soup

A personal favorite of mine, this broccoli soup recipe is vegetarian, healthy, quick, and easy.  This simple Cream of Broccoli Soup is from Shobha Indani’s cookbook ‘Swad Sugandh’, serves 6.


Vegetarian Cream of Broccoli Soup

What you need to make vegetarian broccoli soup:

For Soup:
2 Tbsp butter
1 cup milk
¼ cup chopped onion
1 pinch nutmeg powder
1 tsp chopped garlic

For Garnish:
5 cups water*
½ cup broccoli (chopped & blanched)

Let’s Begin!


1.  For stock:  Heat butter, add onion, garlic & celery, stir fry few seconds.  Add potato + water & cook till potatoes become soft.  Add broccoli & cook 2 more minutes.  Let cool & then churn in blender to get fine stock.

2.  For Soup:  In a pan, add milk + prepared fine stock & cook till 1 boil.  Add nutmeg powder, oregano, salt & pepper powder, simmer 2-3 minutes.  Finally add cream.  Garnish & serve hot.

Notes:

- Tastes great even without nutmeg powder & oregano (in case you don't have them on hand!)
