Leichte Brokkoli Suppe
Light Broccoli Soup
INGREDIENTS
2 stems of broccoli
1 small onion
2 tbsp butter
500 ml vegetable stock
Optional cream (vegans just leave this out, the soup is still delicious)
Salt pepper
PREPARATION
- Peel the onion and cut into small pieces.
- Cut the broccoli stems or stems into small pieces.
- Heat the butter in a saucepan, fry the onion until translucent and add the broccoli and fry for a short time.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, switch to medium heat so that the soup only simmered gently. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Now either puree the soup in a Thermomix (www.vorwerk.com) or puree with a hand blender and then strain the soup through a sieve so that no hard pieces remain in the cream soup.
- Then, depending on your taste, refine with cream and season with salt and pepper.
