How to make Broccoli and Spinach Soup
Step 1: Chop off all the Vegetables
- I use frozen, chopped Spinach; if you are using fresh, make sure to wash all your vegetables and dry them nicely using a paper towel. Then, chop off all the vegetables; Spinach, Onions, Potatoes, and Broccoli, and keep them on the side.
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables and Broccoli
- Use a large pan, melt the butter on medium flame. Next, add the chopped Onions to the pan on medium flame; wait for 1 minute till you see the Onions are translucent. Next, add Salt and Pepper according to your taste. After that, add vegetable broth and whisk it properly till it is properly mixed. Then, add the chopped Potatoes and Broccoli to the pan. Now you must cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes on medium flame.
Step 3: Spinach and other Vegetables to be cooked for 5-7 minutes
- When you see that the vegetables are cooked, you add Spinach to the pan and mix it properly. While stirring it continuously, cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes on medium flame. When all the vegetables are well cooked, remove the pan from the stove and let the mixture cool down.
Step 4: Blend the mixture and serve it HOT!
- Once the mixture is cool, put it in a blender jar and blend it at high speed until the mixture has a smooth texture. Transfer the soup to your serving bowl, sprinkle some white Pepper and garnish it with Parmesan Cheese. Serve the Soup HOT.
