Creamy Broccoli & Cauliflower Soup
This comforting, velvety soup highlights organic frozen broccoli and cauliflower from Cabera.
Blending creates natural creaminess without heavy dairy, but you can add cheese or cream for extra richness. It’s healthy, packed with veggies, and ready in about 40 minutes. Serves 4–6.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1 medium onion, diced
2–3 garlic cloves, minced
500–600 g frozen broccoli florets Cabera Organic (about 4 cups)
500–600 g frozen cauliflower florets Cabera Organic (about 4 cups)
2 medium carrots, sliced (optional, for sweetness)
4–6 cups (1–1.5 liters) vegetable or chicken broth (start with 4 cups/1 liter and adjust for desired thickness)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional add-ins for extra creaminess:
1 cup (about 100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup (125 ml) heavy cream or half-and-half
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Sauté the base: Heat the oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion (and carrots if using) and cook for 5–7 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Add veggies: Add the frozen broccoli and cauliflower florets directly from the bag (no need to thaw). Pour in the broth (start with 4 cups/1 liter; you can add more later if needed). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the vegetables are very tender.
Blend: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to purée the soup until smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, carefully transfer in batches to a stand blender.) For some texture, blend only part of the soup.
Finish: Stir in the shredded cheese (if using) until melted, or add the cream for richness. Season with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard if desired. Simmer 2–3 more minutes. If the soup is too thick, stir in a little more broth.
Serve: Ladle into bowls. Top with extra cheese, croutons, bacon bits, or fresh herbs (parsley, chives…).
Enjoy with crusty bread!
Perfect for a quick, cozy meal—especially convenient with those Cabera Organic frozen veggies.
