Cream of Broccoli Soup Recipe

It's getting to that time of year, or it's already here! I'm talking about cold weather and the sudden desire for hot soups to take away that chill while also nourishing yourself and your loved ones.

This Creamy Broccoli Soup will definitely do that trick, as it's loaded with nutrients and flavor — plus a little bit of heat from curry powder.

Key Ingredients for Optimal Nutrition

Cream of broccoli soup is typically loaded with butter and flour, but not this version that uses coconut oil, coconut milk and bone broth or collagen powder to give this soup the right type of texture along with good fats.

With the broccoli, greens and green onions, and garlic, this creamy broccoli soup is full of nutrients. One serving provides at least 100 percent daily required value of manganese as well as vitamins A, C and K.

This broccoli soup is also a very balanced macronutrient meal. With 20 grams of performance fats, 15 grams of fiber and a whopping 25 grams of protein, it also will stay with you for a while and can be a lunch all by itself, perhaps paired with a crusty bread — or the suggested side dishes below.

Last but not least, this soup is powered by collagen powder to provide gut, skin and joint support. Choose Multi Collagen Protein, Collagen Peptides or Bone Broth Protein for your collagen/bone broth ingredient. 

How to Make Creamy Broccoli Soup

Start by prepping all the veggies. Melt the oil in large soup pan over medium heat and sauté the green onions and garlic for 1–2 minutes, until translucent. 

Stir in the chopped broccoli. Sauté until the broccoli turns bright green, stirring frequently. Add the basil and additional chopped greens. Cover and steam-sauté for 3-4 minutes. 

Transfer the vegetables to a food processor or high-speed blender. If using a blender, process in two batches. Add a little coconut milk and process until smooth. 

Transfer the puréed vegetables back to the pot and add the remaining coconut milk along with the broth, salt and curry powder. Reheat gently for 10 minutes over medium heat and stir. Serve.

At dinnertime, this soup pairs well with our mushroom risotto, liver and onions dish and chicken pot pie.
