If you are fed up with the usual soups – tomato, hot and sour or manchow – that are present on every menu, why not try something different? A bowl of broccoli almond soup is the kind of winter comfort
food that feels indulgent yet deeply nourishing. This recipe is simple, flavourful and perfect for those chilly winter nights that demand a warm bowl of soup in your hands.
To make this soup, you simply have to blend tender broccoli with creamy almonds for a silky, satisfying soup that works for both weeknight dinners and as a starter for a cosy gathering.
In the colder months, it is a must to include broccoli in your diet, as it brings immunity-supporting vitamin C, fibre for better digestion, and antioxidants that help the body fight seasonal infections.
Almonds add healthy fats, protein, vitamin E, and magnesium, which support skin health and steady energy with the change in weather. Together, they create a wholesome, warming meal that can be easily made dairy-light or vegan, paired with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
Whether you are trying to eat cleaner in winter, sneak more vegetables into your diet, or simply want a comforting one-pot dish, this broccoli almond soup is versatile and a crowd-pleaser.

INGREDIENTS
- Water As Required
- Salt As Per Taste
- 1 Bowl – Broccoli
- 7–8 cloves – Garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp – Ginger
- 1 Tbsp – Celery
- 1/2 Cup – Almonds (Soaked)
- 300 ml – Milk
- A pinch of Black Pepper Powder

METHOD
- Blanch the broccoli in boiling water that has been generously salted. Once it turns a bright green, set the broccoli aside to cool a little.
- Add the blanched broccoli, along with chopped garlic and ginger, celery, almonds and milk, to a mixer jar. Blend it till it has turned into a smooth purée.
- Transfer this purée to a saucepan. You can add water, chicken or vegetable broth as required to the pan to get it to a consistency that you would like. Some like a thicker soup, others might prefer it to be more sippable.
- Adjust the taste of the soup by adding some cracked black pepper and salt. Mix well and let it come to a simmer.
- Serve the soup hot and with a garnish of fresh cream and almond flakes.
- If you want some crunch, add a few croutons or make it into a fulfilling meal by adding a side of salad.
