Creamy Broccoli Soup

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   I want to share a great recipe for a vitamin-packed dish that became one of my favorites after the very first taste, and show you how to make creamy broccoli soup. Gather the ingredients from the list and measure out what you need.

2. Step 2:

   

   Hard-boil the eggs for 10 minutes, then move them to cold water to cool, peel off the shells, and separate the whites from the yolks. We'll only need the yolks.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the broccoli and break it into florets.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash the leek and cut it into large rings.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour cold water into a pot and add the broccoli and leek. Set it over medium heat and bring everything to a boil, then cook the vegetables for 7 minutes. Lift them out to cool.

6. Step 6:

   

   Strain the cooking liquid through a fine sieve or cheesecloth.

7. Step 7:

   

   In a deep bowl, combine the washed and chopped parsley with the leek and broccoli, now cooled.

8. Step 8:

   

   Blend them with an immersion blender to a smooth purée.

9. Step 9:

   

   Now thin the vegetable purée with the strained cooking liquid, set it over low heat, add the cream, and stir. Cook, stirring constantly so it doesn't scorch. You can use processed cheese in place of the cream. Bring the soup to a boil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and take the pot off the heat.

10. Step 10:

    

    Mash the yolks together with the minced garlic into a smooth paste. Stir it into the soup gently.
