Making The Soup

- Transfer some chopped onions, salt, and sauté them for 1 minute until translucent and without changing their color.
- Add some almonds and corn, sauté them for 30 seconds. Next, add some black pepper powder.
- Transfer the broccoli florets, stems, and cook them until the raw smell is out for about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 3 cups of water, cover the pot with a lid, and cook the veggies for about 12-15 minutes. Let the broccoli cook until it turns soft.
- Blend the veggies until smooth with a hand blender or regular blender and serve hot. You can add some water for achieving the perfect consistency according to your taste. Adjust the salt and boil the broccoli almond soup before serving.
For Garnishing
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan on medium heat, add finely chopped onions, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Sauté them for 1 minute until slightly brown, add some finely chopped broccoli, and cook for about 1 minute.
Serving
- Serve the piping hot soup in 4 bowls, drizzle some olive oil, sprinkle some black pepper powder, divide the veggie toppings equally, and add some roasted sliced almonds.
- You can add some crushed pepper for a kick.
Notes
- Make sure to keep medium sized broccoli florets so they will cook equally and fast.
- Do not throw away the tender stems of broccoli, they are very nutritious and taste amazing.
- If you are using a hand blender, the soup blends pretty fast if the broccoli florets are medium sized.
- While using a regular blender, make sure to add warm veggies before blending into a smooth soup.
- Cooking the broccoli in the pot for 5-7 minutes is very important before adding the water to it. The broccoli will release a raw smell from them and the broccoli almond soup will turn out super delicious.
