Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, stirring occasionally until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes, allowing them to slightly soften and absorb the flavors of the onion and garlic.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth, covering the broccoli and bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
-
Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a blender in batches, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids to prevent splattering.
-
Return the pureed soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream, simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Ladle the warm Broccoli Bisque into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese and a handful of crispy croutons for an extra crunch.
