Instructions
In a large stock pot over medium high heat add the broccoli florets and chicken stock. Broccoli will not be covered. Cover the pot and bring to a rapid boil, then turn down to steam for about 8 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
Remove the lid and test the broccoli, as it should be fork tender. Using a hand blender directly in the pan (or a potato masher) blend and mash the broccoli into the chicken stock.
Next add the cream, lemon juice, and parmesan cheese. Stir and heat through to melt the cheese. Sprinkle in the glumannen and stir to fully combine.
Soup will thicken as it cools. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the top.
Notes
Glucomannen is not necessary, however I highly recommend adding this ingredient to thicken your soup.
