Simple Broccoli Soup

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:

• 6 cups broccoli (stems and florets)
• 2 cups low sodium broth
• 1-2 cups water (optional, depending on how thick/thin you want the soup to be)
• 1/2 cup chopped onion (about 1 onion)
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. In a medium sauce pan/pot add olive oil and onions, sauté on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the onions are soft and lightly browned. Add the garlic and celery, sauté for a few minutes longer.


2. Add broccoli and broth, stir with a spoon. Cover and let it cook for about 8-minutes or until it boils. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 more minutes.

3. Remove the sauce pan/pot from the stove to purée. You can use an immersion blender or split the soup into smaller batches and use a regular blender.
