Instructions
  1. In a medium-size pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic, onion, carrot, and spices for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft.
  2. Trim and coarsely chop broccoli. Add broccoli and water to pot and simmer, covered, on low for 15 minutes (until broccoli is soft).
  3. Uncover and cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Place broccoli soup in blender and puree until creamy, or puree in pot using immersion blender. (Be cautious when pureeing warm/hot items in blender. Hold top down firmly with hand. Otherwise, top could easily pop off while pureeing,thus creating a mess).
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
