heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor.

1

Prepare 3 broccoli heads by cutting off the florets from the stem.

2

Store the florets in a pot.

3

Cut the stems in half to expose the center for flavor release, and add them to the pot with the florets.

4

Peel the garlic cloves, cut off the tips, and cut them in half.

5

Fill a large pot with boiling water and add a light sprinkle of salt.

6

Add the broccoli and garlic to the boiling water.

7

Boil for about 6 to 7 minutes, checking doneness by cutting through a floret with a knife.

8

Drain most of the water but reserve about half for the soup.

9

Remove the broccoli stems but leave the garlic in the pot for flavor.

10

Blend the broccoli and garlic with a stick blender, adding some of the reserved boiled water to control the consistency of the soup.

11

Taste and season the soup as needed, then mix again.

12

Serve the soup with a drizzle of olive oil on top.
