Ingredients

• 2 broccoli crowns, roughly chopped with stems
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 cups veggie broth
• 1 can coconut milk
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

Chop broccoli into small to medium florets, including some stalk. Dice the onion and garlic.

In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add onion sauté for 5 minutes, until fragrant. Add garlic and cook for another minute.

Add broccoli along with chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir for about 1 minute.

Pour in veggie broth and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes, until the broccoli is very soft.

Stir in coconut milk, reduce heat to low-medium, cover, and simmer for another 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.

Blend using an immersion blender until smooth, or leave some texture if preferred. Or blend in a high speed blender in batches

Notes

For a brighter green color, add a handful of spinach just before blending. It will not change the flavor but will give the soup a more vibrant appearance.
