Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 large head)

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnishing)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnishing)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add Vegetables: Add the broccoli florets and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.

Simmer with Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, and add dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli and potatoes are tender.

Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender, but be cautious with the hot liquid.

Stir in Cream: Once blended, return the soup to low heat. Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) and heat through until warmed but not boiling. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
