Easy Broccoli Soup

Now that the cat is out of the bag, and you all know I will be competing for a white apron on Master Chef, I can share my inspiration for this soup!

I was inspired by none other than Gordon Ramsay!! One day early last week, I was binge watching Youtube when I came across a super easy broccoli soup recipe by GR. I decided to recreate it and put my own twist on it.

The soup is delicious on its own and makes for a great base for a number of toppings! I list some of my favorites below.

Here is what I came with! 🙂

Serves: 2

Prep: 5 minutes   Cook: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups broccoli florets

1 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable stock

1 cup water

pinch of kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Toppings:

Walnuts, almonds

goat cheese, crema

toasted baguette, croutons

herbed oil, parsley, cherry tomato

Procedure:

1. In a pot, boil broccoli in water and vegetable stock, just until broccoli is cooked (overcooking will cause soup to loose bright green color). Season with salt, pepper and garlic.

2. In a blender, such as a Nutribullet, blend broccoli and 1 1/2 cup of the stock/water. Blend until smooth.

3. Pour into a bowl and garnish as desired!

4. Enjoy 🙂
