Ingredients
Method
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Add onions and garlic, then cook until soft. Stir in the broccoli and frozen peas and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of vegetable stock and bring to a boil, adding more water if necessary to cover the vegetables. Add the potato and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes or until the broccoli is soft.
- Allow the cooked ingredients to cool in the saucepan. Transfer all ingredients, including the stock and mint, to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Reheat the soup in a saucepan over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the soup and garnish with a mint leaf.

Notes
- Consistency: When making puréed soups, you can adjust the amount of water or vegetable stock to achieve your desired consistency. Some people prefer a thinner soup, while others like it thicker. Feel free to use more or less vegetable stock in this recipe based on your preference.
- Frozen: Although I use fresh broccoli in this recipe, you can substitute frozen broccoli if that's more convenient.
- Cream: For an even creamier soup, consider adding double cream. This is a great vegetarian option.
