Broccoli Almond Soup

The Broccoli Almond Soup Recipe is a wholesome soup packed with nutrients. In this recipe, broccoli is roasted in a pan until soft along with garlic and then finally ground along with almonds to give it that creamy texture.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups Broccoli- cut into florets
• 1 Onions- sliced
• 4 cloves Garlic- finely chopped
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/4 cup Badam (Almond)
• Salt to taste
• 1 Whole Black Peppercorn coarsely pounded
• 1 teaspoon Olive Oil

PREPARATION

1. To begin making the Broccoli Almond Soup Recipe, wash the broccoli florets and prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Soak almonds in hot water for about 20 minutes. Peel off the skin from the almonds and set aside.
3. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat; add the garlic, onions and saute until the onions have softened.
4. Once the onions have softened, add the broccoli florets and saute the broccoli on for a minute. Sprinkle salt, cover the pan and steam cook the broccoli in the pan for about 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Once you notice the broccoli has steamed just enough to take a bite, turn off the heat. Allow the broccoli onion mixture to cool.
6. Once cooled, add the broccoli, soaked almonds and milk into a mixer grinder. Blend to make a smooth puree.
7. Once blended, pour the broccoli almond soup into a saucepan and bring it to a brisk boil and turn off the heat. Do this step only when you are ready to serve the soup. Check the salt and adjust according to taste.
8. Garnish the Broccoli Almond Soup with crushed black pepper and serve hot.
