Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 celery sticks diced
1 medium potato peeled and cubed
4 cups chopped broccoli
2 cups vegetable (or chicken) broth
1/5 cups milk (we used 1%)

Steps:

1. In a soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add celery and onions and cook for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add in potatoes, broccoli, milk, and broth, and bring to a boil.
4. Once boiling, reduce heat, cover the pot with a lid, and allow to simmer for roughly 20 minutes OR until vegetables are tender.
5. Once finished, remove from heat and allow to cool. Adding hot liquid to a blender can sometimes be dangerous. This is also why we recommend blending the soup in batches (only filling the blender up to about 1/3 of its capacity).
6. Blend until smooth.
7. Gently reheat the soup, then top with your favourite garnish (cheddar cheese, bacon, croutons), and enjoy!
