A warm and comforting pot of Traditional Italian Broccoli Soup, filled with nutritious ingredients and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of fresh broccoli, chopped into florets
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the broccoli thoroughly and chop it into florets. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it’s translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  4. Add the diced potatoes and carrot, cooking for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth or water and bring to a boil.
  6. Add the chopped broccoli and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  8. Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or in batches in a standard blender.
  9. Return soup to the pot, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more broth if too thick.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper flakes, and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

This soup can be served with crusty Italian bread or a simple green salad. It stores well and tastes better the next day.
