Ingredients
Vegetables
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Dairy
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
Liquids
- 2 cups vegetable broth
Instructions
- Simmer Vegetables: In a medium pot, combine the broccoli florets and minced garlic with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
- Blend Soup Base: Carefully transfer the cooked broccoli, garlic, and broth to a blender. Add the cottage cheese and blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a velvety texture.
