Mushroom Soup with Broccoli

Step 6: Simmer and Blend

• Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes. The broccoli should become tender, and the flavors will meld together beautifully.
• For a smooth consistency, use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup directly in the pot. If you prefer a chunky texture, blend only half of the soup or skip this step.

Step 7: Add the Cream

• Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option). Let it warm through for 3–5 minutes, but avoid boiling to prevent curdling.

Step 8: Adjust the Seasoning

• Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Add a hint of nutmeg for a warm, slightly sweet undertone if desired.

Serving Suggestions

• Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for an elegant finish.
• Side Pairings: Serve with crusty bread, garlic toast, or a side salad for a complete meal.

This Mushroom Soup with Broccoli also pairs well with a glass of white wine or a refreshing sparkling water with lemon.

Why This Recipe Stands Out

• Rich Flavors: The mushrooms lend an earthy, umami depth that perfectly complements the broccoli’s mild sweetness.
• Healthy and Nutritious: Packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, this soup is a wholesome choice for any occasion.
• Customizable: Adjust the creaminess, seasoning, or garnishes to suit your preferences.
