Broccoli Cream Soup Recipe

Divide the broccoli into florets, cut the stems and finely chop. Peel and finely chop the onion, and peel or chop the garlic.

Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté the onion over high heat for a few minutes. Add the finely chopped broccoli stalks and continue to simmer for another three minutes. Then add the broccoli florets, garlic, nutmeg and simmer for another 2 minutes.

Pour in the chicken broth, boil and simmer for about five minutes until the vegetables are tender. Blend the resulting mass, add cream, salt to taste, bring to a boil again and remove from heat. Let the soup rest for about five minutes. Serve with croutons and ground black pepper.
