Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to make Broccoli Cauliflower Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 1 medium bunch)
  • 4 cups cauliflower florets (about ½ medium head)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: grated cheese, croutons, fresh herbs

Instructions

Sauté the Aromatics:

  1. Heat the Olive Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cook the Vegetables:

  1. Add the Vegetables: Stir in the broccoli and cauliflower florets, allowing them to sauté for a couple of minutes with the onions and garlic.
  2. Add the Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth (or chicken broth) and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Blend the Soup:

  1. Blend the Soup: Once the vegetables are soft, use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Add the Cream: Return the blended soup to the pot (if needed) and stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream). Let the soup simmer for another 5-10 minutes to thicken and heat through.

Season and Serve:

  1. Season to Taste: Stir in dried thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
  2. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with optional garnishes like grated cheese, croutons, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
