Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2½ cups frozen peas
- 3 cups broccoli (tightly packed)
- 2 cups potato (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled)
Liquids and Seasonings
- 6 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 2 cubes vegetable bouillon (or 2 teaspoons of Better Than Bouillon)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large soup pot, add the water, peas, broccoli, diced potato, peeled garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and vegetable bouillon cubes. Stir to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Boil the Soup: Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat slightly if needed and allow it to cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Blend the Soup: Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender (or transfer in batches to a countertop blender), blend the soup until completely smooth and creamy. Take care when blending hot liquids to avoid splashes.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, and serve hot for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference, especially if using salted bouillon.
- For a richer soup, consider adding a splash of cream or a dollop of yogurt before serving.
- Use fresh broccoli if available for a fresher taste; simply chop roughly.
- This soup freezes well—store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
- For a vegan and gluten-free option, ensure your vegetable bouillon is compatible with those diets.
