Equipment

  • stick blender is helpful

Ingredients

  • 32 ounces broccoli florets
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2-4 tbsp lemon juice (juice of half a lemon)
  • ½ tsp glucomannen to thicken
  • Salt and pepper to taste

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.
