  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/4 cup Nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pine nuts)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • Salt Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, combine vegetable stock, water, and broccoli. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until broccoli is tender.
  • Remove from heat and transfer the soup to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
