Broccoli Soup with Croutons

Ingredients

600 g broccoli

1 onion

3 cloves garlic

4 cups vegetable broth

1 potato

1/3 cup cashews

Salt to taste

Ground black pepper to taste

Ground red pepper to taste

White bread

Place the broccoli, onion, garlic, and vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until the broccoli is tender, about 8 minutes.

Pour half the broccoli and broth into a blender with half the boiled potatoes and the cashews. Blend until smooth. Transfer to another saucepan and repeat with the remaining broccoli, potatoes, and cashews.

 Cover the soup and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Add salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to taste.

Cut the bread into cubes, discarding the crusts. Toast in a dry frying pan or toast in the oven.

Serve the finished soup with croutons.

Enjoy!
