Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a lighter version)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing and chopping the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté the onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the chopped broccoli and cauliflower to the pot, stirring for about two minutes to coat them in the oil mixture.
- Pour in vegetable broth until all veggies are covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes until tender.
- Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or standard blender. For texture, pulse gently if desired.
- Return blended soup to low heat, stir in heavy cream (or coconut milk), season with salt and pepper as needed, and serve warm.
