Tip

It's the fresh parsley and basil that really set this broccoli soup apart from the rest. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do

Delicious and easy! I replaced some of the water with coconut milk and it turned out great. Thanks for the recipe!
I have just made this Broccoli Soup and it tastes beautiful. I hate broccoli but I know it's good for you so I usually make Broccoli Tots. Now I have this soup, I will be making it more often. Instead of using olive oil, I tried Azalea Cuisine Asian inspired cooking oil flavoured with ginger, garlic, sesame oil and peanut oil. I added a good grinding of black pepper a teaspoon of salt and chicken stock paste. Happy with the thickness and how creamy it is without cream added.
Loved this soup, turned out perfectly!!
Thanks for sharing.
Really lovely. I used 750grams of water and the consistency was just right - thank you for sharing!
Both easy to make and healthy, this delicious soup is addictive. My tasting spoon is guilty of double dipping, triple dipping and more.... yummo!!!
Just made this - and it tastes AMAZING! Used 800gm of water as per the comments and didn't bother with the sour cream. So delicious!
Did not try original recipe due to lack of ingredients and noticing people mention theirs was runny. I made enough for three bowls. 1 whole large brocolli head, 20g olive oil, half a large onion instead of leek, same herbs but dry so I added a table spoon of each and 700 grams of water. That was all I changed and followed the rest of the recipe without cream . Perfect for lunch today thankyou Garnsey!
Absolutely delicious.
I only used 800g water and it was plenty.
I also omitted the sour cream and added 30g greek yoghurt and it was perfect.
Excellent broccoli and leek soup. Lowered oil to 10ml and left out sour cream in order to reduce calories. Have alreday made multiple times.
Yum - didn't have parsley - used 750ml water and added bok Choy - even better !
