- Cutting the Broccoli: Cut the broccoli into small florets. This will ensure even cooking and make it easier to blend the soup.
- Sautéing the Aromatics: Sautéing the onions, garlic, and celery in butter or olive oil adds depth of flavor to the soup.
- Using Vegetable Broth: Vegetable broth provides a flavorful base for the soup. You can use store-bought or homemade vegetable broth.
- Simmering the Soup: Simmer the soup for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the broccoli to soften.
- Blending the Soup: Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, be sure to cool the soup slightly before blending to avoid splatters.
- Seasoning the Soup: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
- Serving the Soup: Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs, croutons, or a drizzle of olive oil.
