Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Vegetables
- Start by chopping your broccoli into florets, removing any tough stems. Set the florets aside.
- Peel and dice your potatoes into small cubes, ensuring they cook evenly.
- Chop the onion and garlic.
2️⃣ Cook the Vegetables
- In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3️⃣ Add the Broccoli and Potatoes
- Add the potatoes and broccoli florets to the pot.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring everything to a simmer.
- Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and broccoli are tender when pierced with a fork.
4️⃣ Blend the Soup
- Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender directly in the pot to purée the soup until smooth and creamy.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest as is.
- Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
- After blending, return the soup to the pot and stir in the milk (or cream for extra richness).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5️⃣ Final Touches & Serve
- Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once done, remove from heat and serve hot.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives to add a burst of color and flavor.
