Happy Monday to the Veg World! It’s going to be a jam packed week, full of veggies and exciting things. But I already miss the relaxing weekend we just had, when I was all snuggled up with a bowl of warm broccoli soup!

Every time I create a soup for the blog, I am always pleasantly surprised at how easy they are! Soups are also the best vehicles to eat more vegetables, especially because you can pack so many different ones in there without even realizing it.

This easy Broccoli Soup with Potatoes and Peas has three veggies in its title, but FOUR in the soup! Woah.

But unlike your classic pureed vegetable soups, this one also gives you something to chew. I added frozen peas after I blended the broccoli and potato mixture to quite literally give it a “bite.”

Not that I have anything against liquid veggie soups (I love my Roasted Parsnip and Pear Soup and Apple Ginger Kabocha Squash Soup!), but sometimes I like to chew my soups too.

In my mind, biting into something adds a little more oompf! So if the thought of chowing down on raw veggies on a cold day makes you cringe, you can indulge in a creamy bowl of this broccoli soup instead to get your daily plants!

How to Make Broccoli Soup

Use a knife or your hands to separate the heads of broccoli into florets. Dice an onion and a potato.
Cook the onion with some garlic and olive oil in a large pot. Add the broccoli, cook for a few minutes, then add the potato and veggie broth.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes until the veggies are tender.
Use an immersion blender (also known as a hand blender) to puree the soup. (Tips for using a regular blender below.)
Stir in the frozen peas and Greek yogurt. Serve!

Expert Tips and FAQ

Using an immersion blender (hand blender) is the easiest way to blend broccoli soup. However, you can also use a stand blender and puree the soup in batches. To do this safely, fill the blender only halfway with the hot soup. Remove the center part of the blender cap and place a folded dish towel over the cap instead. This allows hot steam to escape while blending. Pour the blended soup into a large bowl, and repeat with the remaining soup.
Serve with more Greek yogurt if you want it to be creamier. You can also add some shredded cheddar cheese on top before serving.
Since everything gets blended, you can use the entire broccoli head (stalk included). It’s a great way to cut down on food waste!
The taste and color of this soup will vary depending on the size of the russet potato you use. Use a smaller potato for a broccoli-heavy taste and greener color.

How long can you keep broccoli soup?

Broccoli soup lasts for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in a small saucepan over low heat on the stove, stirring occasionally. You can also reheat it in a bowl in the microwave on high for 1.5-3 minutes.

Can broccoli soup be frozen?

You can freeze broccoli soup in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge a day before reheating on the stove or in the microwave. If you are cooking for one or two and want to freeze single servings, check out Souper Cubes. They make it really easy to freeze 1-cup or 2-cup portions!

Is broccoli soup healthy?

Absolutely! Broccoli is rich in fiber that supports digestive health, and contains beneficial compounds called glucosinolates that may exert anti-cancer effects in the body. Compounds found in broccoli also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may help fight against chronic diseases.
