How To Make broccoli leek soup
-
Step 1In a large pot, over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and saute the leeks, carrots and celery for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
Step 2Add the broccoli and garlic. Saute for another 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
Step 3Add the vegetable broth and water. Liquid should just barely cover all the vegetables.
-
Step 4Heat to boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. Broccoli should be tender.
-
Step 5Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
Step 6In batches, transfer to a food processor, and blend until smooth, then transfer to a large bowl. For each batch, add a little coconut milk during blending. Don't transfer/blend all of the broth or the soup may be too runny. You can always add broth in the end if you need more liquid. Otherwise, discard any unused liquid.
-
Step 7Once all veggies are blended, add the salt and peppers, and stir to combine.
-
Step 8At this point, you can either transfer back to the pot, reheat and serve. Or you can store in an airtight container (once cooled) and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
