Main Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the pot and stir for 2 minutes to combine and lock in flavors.
- Simmer: Pour in the low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
- Blend Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth or achieve the desired consistency.
- Add Cream and Feta: Stir in the heavy cream and crumbled feta cheese over low heat until warmed through, being careful not to boil.
- Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy your creamy Broccoli Feta Soup.
Notes
- For a thinner soup, add more broth or cream to reach your preferred consistency.
- You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream for a lighter option.
- To keep it vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Use fresh broccoli for the best flavor and texture.
- Be careful not to overheat after adding the feta to prevent curdling.
