Finally zeroed in on this very easy Broccoli Soup Recipe from BBC - Food (the link to recipe is no longer working). Some people don't like the flavour of broccoli and prefer to avoid and you would think this Broccoli Soup has a strong flavour of broccoli but it actually doesn't. I encourage you to try it even if you are a broccoli-disliker, this soup may just win you over.
BROCCOLI SOUP RECIPE
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Broccoli - 2 cups, chopped (discard the thicker part of the stem
Vegetable stock - 4 cups
Garlic - 3 to 4 cloves, chopped
Olive oil - 1 tbsp
Salt and pepper - to taste (freshly ground pepper makes a lot of difference to the taste)
How to Make Broccoli Soup
1. Heat the oil in a pan and saute the garlic till it turns a light brown at the edges.
2. Add the stock and the broccoli, bring to boil and simmer for 25-30 minutes. The broccoli should be cooked at this point.
3. Blend in a mixie / blender and serve hot with some salt and pepper.

I like to add cheese to my broccoli soup, and cream cheese is the best for making it creamy in my opinion. For a nice flavor though, cheddar wins hands down.

That is one of the easiest soups I have ever seen and looks great too! You think I could add a dash of cream to make it creamier?

Pretty soup...I love broccoli soup, but I always make a "cream of" variety. This looks like something easy to try.

I love broccoli soup and I love the little flecks of green in yours.. but Aloo Broccoli tastes pretty good too 🙂 I also make broccoli poricha kootu, oven roasted broccoli or a broccoli poriyal... so there are a lot of options.

I usually do what your hubby suggested - use broccoli as a substitute for cauliflower. I tried making soup out of it once, and ended up not liking it.
