Ingredients Fresh broccoli soup
- about 1 liter of vegetable broth
- 600 grams (1 large stalk) of broccoli
- 2 onions
- 1 large potato
- 1 to 2 cloves of garlic (according to preference)
- 1 smoked chicken breast
- pepper and sea salt
- fresh basil
Preparation Fresh broccoli soup
- Finely chop (or press) the onion and garlic and fry them in a soup pan.
- Heat the vegetable broth.
- Peel the potato and cut it into cubes. Cook them separately until they are al dente.
- Cut the broccoli into small pieces and add them to the broth. Bring to a boil.
- Cook the potatoes until tender and the broccoli not too long, otherwise you will cook out all the vitamins.
- Drain the potatoes and add them to the broth, then let it simmer gently for a few minutes.
- Season with a good amount of pepper and salt (according to taste).
- Blend the soup bit by bit in a blender and also add 2 handfuls of fresh basil while blending.
- Pour the soup into bowls.
- Cut the smoked chicken breast into cubes and add them on top in the middle of the soup bowl, and your fresh broccoli soup is ready!
Tip! When serving, stir a teaspoon of Greek yogurt in a circle through the soup! It looks nice and makes the soup creamier!
