Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tight florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
- Prep the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into small florets and wash them thoroughly. You can also peel the stalks if you want a more tender soup.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use homemade broth or store-bought broth.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it's tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
- Garnish the soup with sunflower seeds: Sunflower seeds add a nice crunch and nutty flavor to the soup. You can also garnish the soup with other toppings, such as croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.
