Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
Cook Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a blender.
