We will cook soup from 450 gr broccoli. I chose this amount because this is the standard package weight of frozen broccoli. Defrosting cabbage for soup is optional, anyway we will add it to the already hot broth.
First, peel the onion, finely chop it.
Fry the onion until golden in a saucepan in vegetable oil.
While the onion is fried, wash, peel the potatoes and chop it coarsely.
Add chopped potatoes to the fried golden onions.
Sauté the onions and potatoes in the hot broth. You can choose chicken, meat or vegetable broth. And it is better to add it exactly hot, so as not to bring down the temperature of the dish. Bring the broth with vegetables to a boil, reduce the heat and cook the soup further until the potatoes are soft over medium heat.
Once the potatoes are ready, pour broccoli into the stewpan of the inflorescence. Bring the soup back to a boil and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the cabbage is soft.
Broccoli, of course, will lose its amazing bright green color, but you can add spinach to preserve the color.
Also at this stage, you can add warmed cream to the soup for a softer creamy taste.
Salt and pepper the soup to taste, mashed with a hand blender.
Before serving, add pumpkin seeds.
It is good to serve such a soup with crackers or homemade croutons: fry slices of white bread in a small amount of vegetable oil. For croutons it is better to choose long narrow baguettes. You can also sprinkle croutons with grated cheese and put them under the grill to melt the cheese.
It will be very good to add a strip of crispy bacon fried in a dry pan to the autumn soup. The aroma of haze will decorate it very much, and the bacon will make it a little more satisfying.
Such puree soups warm well, saturate. And, having prepared such a soup once, I want to experiment further.
Pour 2 liters of water into the pan, put the breast and put on fire. When the water begins to boil, remove the foam, then reduce the heat, cover with a lid and leave to cook for 20 minutes.
When the chicken breast is ready, remove it from the broth. Wash the broccoli with cool water and divide into inflorescences. Put the broccoli in the chicken stock, put on the fire and cook 15 minutes after boiling.
As a result, I got boiled: broccoli cabbage and chicken breast, which I split into medium-sized pieces for further processing.
Finely chop the onions, grate the carrots.
Fry the carrots with onions in a pan, about 5 minutes.
Grind broccoli cabbage with a blender to a finely divided mass.
Grilled vegetables also grind in a blender with chicken.
Put the broth on the fire and put broccoli, chicken and roast chopped in a blender into it. While stirring with a whisk, bring the whole mixture to a boil.
Pour in 150 ml of cream, continue stirring.
Spoon by spoon add melted cheese. Before putting the next spoon, try to make the previous one dissolve in the soup. I got about 6-7 tablespoons. After we have added cheese, cook for 2-3 minutes stirring.
Pour the finished cream of broccoli soup into plates and garnish with dill. Also add crackers to the soup, if you have one. Very tasty and healthy!

Recipe List
Broccoli is a cauliflower variety. For cooking, unblown inflorescences of this plant are used. Among other varieties of cabbage, broccoli stands out for its delicate, peculiar taste, which is why it is ideal for broccoli soup puree.
Recall the cooking features of this cabbage. Due to the tenderness of its inflorescences, they cannot be boiled in boiling water, so they are only blanched.
Do not forget that the inflorescences contain sulfur compounds, which have an unpleasant odor. To eliminate it, a handful of drinking soda is enough, which must be added at the beginning of cooking. But this should be done very carefully, otherwise broccoli puree soup will get a soda flavor.
Another aspect of making broccoli soup puree is that it reaches the desired consistency in a quarter of an hour. Broccoli has time to turn brown. To prevent this from happening, often broccoli soup puree is prepared with spinach.
