Dietary broccoli cream soup
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. I'm going to make this diet cream soup vegan. Many people make a roux for soups by sautéing onions with carrots. Of course, that's tasty, no doubt about it. But to reduce calories, it's better not to sauté anything. Also, I'm cooking the soup in plain water, which can be replaced with chicken broth if desired. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.

Step 1
Take out the broccoli. Rinse and separate into florets so they cook faster and more evenly. If necessary, trim the ends.

Step 2
Peel the potatoes. You can replace them with turnips, Jerusalem artichokes, or pumpkin if you're afraid of eating starchy foods. Cut them not too small, since we'll be grinding them later.

Step 3
Place a pot of water on the stove. Add the washed broccoli florets and sliced potatoes to it. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat until cooked. The water should be just enough to cover the ingredients, no more.

Step 4
When the broccoli and potatoes become very soft, turn off the heat. Chop the garlic and add it to the pot. Use a blender to puree everything until smooth. Finally, add the cream. Place back on the stove and bring to a boil, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5
Chop the green onion. Pour the soup into a bowl, garnish with sour cream, and sprinkle with green onions. This soup goes well with tofu cheese.
