500 g broccoli (florets)
700 ml vegetable broth
1 medium onion
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 egg
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
2 slices whole grain toast bread

Preparation

1
Peel and finely chop the onion. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pot, add the onion, and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until translucent.

Meanwhile, peel and press or finely chop the garlic. Add to the pot and sauté for 1 minute.

Pour in the vegetable broth, add the broccoli florets, and simmer everything over medium heat for 10–15 minutes until the broccoli is soft.

Season the soup with salt and pepper. Remove the pot from the heat, crack in the egg, and immediately purée finely with an immersion blender.

For the croutons, cut the whole grain toast bread into cubes and toast in a dry pan over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until golden brown.
