Instructions

- Transfer some chopped onions, salt, and sauté them for 1 minute until translucent and slightly changing their color.
- Add the rinsed broccoli florets, stems, and cook them until the raw smell is out for about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 2 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.
- Turn off the heat and add the spinach until they have wilted.
- Add some black pepper powder.
- Blend the veggies until smooth with an immersion blender or regular blender with 1 cup water. You can add some more 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 garlic. Sauté them for 15 seconds until slightly brown and add some finely chopped broccoli.
- Cook the broccoli for about 1 minute by adding a pinch of salt. Turn off the heat and add some chopped spinach and mix well.
Serving
- Serve the piping hot soup in 3 bowls, sprinkle some black pepper powder and divide the veggie toppings equally. You can drizzle some olive oil on top.
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.
- 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 spinach soup will turn out super delicious.
- Make sure to add the spinach once you turn off the heat. Just wilt the leaves for sometime in the pot. It will give a nice color to the soup.
- While using a regular blender, make sure to add warm veggies before blending into a smooth soup.
