Creamy Broccoli & Celery Soup Recipe

Add the roughly chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, until it starts to soften and turn translucent.

While the onion cooks, wash and roughly chop the broccoli and celery, making sure to use all parts of the broccoli, including the stems. Add the broccoli stems and celery to the pot.

Pour in the vegetable broth and 1 cup water. Season with 2 teaspoons salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low-medium, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Now add the broccoli florets to the pot and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is very soft. Turn off the heat and use a hand blender to puree the soup until it’s completely smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with black pepper and more salt if you think it needs it.
