Directions
Warm some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, turn the heat down to low and add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook them gently, stirring occasionally, until they’re soft and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, toss in the broccoli, season everything with a bit of salt and pepper, and give it a good stir. Pour in the vegetable broth along with the lemon juice, then cover the pot loosely and let it simmer until the broccoli is nice and tender, which should take around 25 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it’s smooth and creamy. Serve it up with a sprinkle of Cheddar cheese on top for a tasty finish.
Perfect Side Pairings
Serve the soup warm with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or some grated cheese on top. It pairs nicely with a side of crunchy nuts or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
Freezing Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to keep the texture smooth. Avoid freezing if you want to maintain the best consistency.
