ABOUT Broccoli and Almond Soup RECIPE

A very healthy and comforting soup made from broccoli and flavoured with garlic and almonds. This is a mildly flavoured soup that tastes amazing with addition of just salt and pepper.

Ingredients Serving: 2

200-250 grams broccoli (about 1 cup chopped broccoli florets)
10-12 Almonds
2 tablespoon butter
1 green chilli, cut into 2 pieces
1 medium sized onion, chopped
2-3 Garlic Cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon maida
1 Cup water
1 cup warm milk
¼ teaspoon black pepper powder (adjust as per taste)
Salt to taste

Instructions

Preparing Broccoli
Wash and chop broccoli. Combine water and a pinch of salt in a bowl and soak broccoli florets in it for about 5-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
For the Almond Paste
Combine water and almonds in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for about 1.30 -2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and peel off their skin.
Take them in a mixer/blender jar and blend to a smooth paste adding about 1-2 tablespoon water. Keep aside.
Preparing Soup
Heat butter in a pan. Add green chilli, finely chopped onion and garlic. Saute until onions turn transparent.
Now add broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then add maida and saute for a minute.
Add water and salt and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring in-between.
Remove from flame and let the mixture cool down. Remove the chilli pieces from it, so that they don’t get crushed while blending.
Once it cools down, transfer to a mixer/blender jar and blend to a smooth puree.
Transfer to the pan and again reheat the soup on a medium flame.
Add warm milk and pepper powder. At this stage, adjust the salt level. Simmer for about 1-2 minutes. Do not bring to a boil. Switch off the flame.
Serve Broccoli and Almond Soup hot with Pasta or Garlic Bread.
