Step 1
First, cook the broccoli. This will be the liquid base of our soup — the vegetable broth. You can slightly salt the water. Cook frozen broccoli for 30 minutes, and fresh broccoli for no more than 15 minutes.

Step 2
While the broccoli is cooking, prepare the remaining vegetables. Slice the onion into thin half-rings or small cubes—either way is fine. Thoroughly rinse the spinach and chop it finely.

Step 3
When the broccoli is cooked, remove it with a slotted spoon. You can set aside a few florets to garnish the soup in the bowl. Place the chopped spinach, onion, and cooked broccoli into a bowl. Take an immersion blender and start blending everything. Once the vegetables turn into a puree, you can proceed to the next step.
