Serves: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets, about 4 cups
  • 1 large Yukon Gold potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Creme fraiche, cream, or sour cream to garnish
Instructions
  1. Place the butter or oil and the onion in a large heavy pot. heat on medium and cook for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the broccoli, potato, water, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat back to medium and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the vegetables are very tender.
  2. Remove from the heat and puree with a handheld blender or transfer to a food processor and pulse until smooth.
  3. Serve hot, garnished with creme fraiche.
Notes
Since I have no idea how big your broccoli is, the water can be adjusted individually. Just barely an inch above the vegetables to cook everything evenly will give you a nice thick soup. It's better to have the soup too thick, adding more water as needed.
