Good to know

Chef's tip

🍲 For a touch of freshness and flavor, garnish your broccoli soup with a few sprigs of fresh chives just before serving. You can also add a pinch of grated nutmeg to bring out the flavors.🥄

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Very good, up to 3 months in zip bags or airtight containers. Thaw in the fridge.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The soup can be made entirely the day before. The flavors often improve.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheat gently in a pot over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid a hard boil. Microwave possible, at medium power in intervals.

Variations

Add a piece of cream cheese for an even creamier soup.
Replace the heavy cream with coconut milk.
Serve with croutons or toasted pumpkin seeds.

Mistakes to avoid

Overcooking the broccoli: the soup loses its color and flavor. Allow about 10 minutes of steaming.
Keeping the steaming water: it dilutes the soup. Pour it out before blending.
Blending too briefly: chunks remain. Blend until the consistency is smooth.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this soup without a Monsieur Cuisine?

Yes, steam the vegetables or cook them in the broth, sauté the onion and garlic in a pot, then blend everything with an immersion blender. Add the cream and heat gently for a few minutes.

How do I keep the nice green color?

Avoid overcooking the broccoli: 10 minutes of steaming is enough to make it tender. Cooking it too long makes it dull and more bitter. Blend it right away with the hot broth.

Which broth should I use for the soup?

A vegetable broth, homemade or store-bought, is ideal: it flavors the soup without masking the broccoli. Choose a low-sodium one so you can season at the end with salt and pepper to taste.

What is the potato for in this soup?

The potato adds starch, which gives a smoother, thicker texture without adding much cream. It also softens the strong taste of broccoli. Steam it together with the broccoli.
