CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP

Cut the stalks off the broccoli and slice them thinly. Cut the tops into florets. 

Melt the butter in a 3-litre saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often for 5 minutes, or until tender. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and nutmeg and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Add the broccoli stalks, florets, peas, stock, and 400ml water. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

Using a stick blender, blend on low speed until smooth. Stir in the cream, heat through over medium heat and you’re ready to serve.

Serve the soup piping hot with garlic bread. Garnish with chives and parmesan shavings.
