Simple broccoli soup...

I make this quite regularly for a quick meal. Nice and simple. Just thought I would share...

All you need:

Broccoli of course
Garlic clove
Half an onion
1 Vegetable stock cube in 600ml water
Olive oil
Nice bread and butter

Brown off your onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil...

Put the stock and broccoli in with the onions and garlic and simmer until the broccoli is soft...

Then blend...

and serve....lovely

enjoy

Not tried it with broccoli but I make a pea soup quite often pretty much exactly the same way.

Will give this a go as I do like my broccoli.

Good post, just something to add - a bit of Stilton goes well with broccoli.

Nice.

I need to get my soup game on tbh! Not keen on bread though so will have to find something else to soak it up with.

Did you add any seasoning to it? Suppose it depends on personal preferences.

Chicken broth with noodles? Nom nom nom.

No, all the seasoning I want is in the stock cube.
