Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 carrot chopped
  • 1 small celery stalk chopped
  • 4 cups sweet potato peeled and cubed (500-600 grams)
  • 5 cups broccoli cut into florets (around 500 grams)
  • 5 cups water or homemade stock 1.25 liters
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup cream optional (90 ml or so)
  • Fresh chives or garlic chives or parsley optional, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery, cook 5 to 7 minutes until softened. Keep the heat at medium and stir often, you want the onion soft, not colored. Browning it here will give the soup an unwanted smoky flavor.
  • Add sweet potato, broccoli, and stock (or water). Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 to 25 minutes until vegetables are very tender.
  • Add parsley, then blend until completely smooth.
  • Stir in cream, if using. Season with salt and pepper.
  • If too thick, add a little extra stock or water.
  • Serve topped with fresh parsley or chives.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, omit the cream or use a plant-based cream.
  • You can use more or less of the broccoli and sweet potato as long as the total weight stays about the same.
  • Slice the celery fairly thinly so you don’t get long strands caught up in your mixer.

 

Storage:

  • Keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days in a sealed container, and freezes well for up to 3 months.
  • For make-ahead, add the cream or milk after you reheat the soup rather than before storing or freezing.
