Broccoli Soup with Parmesan Crisps

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash the broccoli. Cut it into florets. Trim & dice the stem.

Step 2

Add the broccoli & vegetable broth into a pot. Grate in the garlic. Season with salt & bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower to a simmer & cook for 10-12 min.

Step 3

Meanwhile, make small piles of grated parmesan cheese on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with pepper. Bake for about 5-6 min at 400°F. Check frequently & remove from the oven when golden brown.

Step 4

Take the soup off the heat. Using an immersion blender, blender or food processor, purée the soup until smooth. Add the cream & pesto. Blend again & season to taste.

Step 5

Remove the parmesan crisps from the oven. Ladle the soup into a bowl & top with the parmesan crisps. Serve & enjoy!
