Equipment
- Stick Blender or Liquidiser
Ingredients
- 1 brown onion roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves sliced
- 150 g garden peas frozen
- 300 g broccoli separated into florets, stalk chopped
- 1 stock cube 500ml stock
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and saute for a few minutes, until softened, but not browned. Add the frozen peas and broccoli florets.
- Crumble in the stock cube, and pour the boiling water over it, or pour in the prepared hot vegetable broth. Partially cover with a lid and simmer the soup for 10 minutes, until the broccoli is tender, but not losing its vibrant green colour.
- Pour the soup into a liquidiser or blend it with a stick blender until silky smooth. Add the creme fraiche and blend again. If your soup appears too thick, add a splash of hot water and blend again. Taste for seasoning and add some black pepper and salt, if required.
- Divide the blended soup between bowls, and serve immediately!
Notes
Serve the soup with an extra dollop of creme fraiche, a drizzle of olive oil on top and some crusty bread on the side.
