Recipe View Serve hot, garnished with a swirl of cream, a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg, or a few toasted croutons, if desired.

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock or bone broth.
To add depth, try sautéing a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic.
If you prefer a thinner soup, add more chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency.
For a vegan option, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors.
Squeezing the excess water out of the broccoli will prevent the soup from becoming watery.
