Detox broccoli coconut soup with nutmeg and black pepper FAQ:
Cook the broccoli for 5-7 minutes in boiling water until it's tender but still vibrant green. Drain before blending.
You can substitute coconut milk with almond milk, cashew milk, or a blend of cream and water, but the flavor will change.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat over medium heat before serving.
A large pot (at least 4-6 quarts) is recommended to comfortably cook and heat the soup.
If the soup is too thick, add water or vegetable broth gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
Tips:
- Fresh Broccoli: Use fresh broccoli for the best flavor and nutrients. If using frozen broccoli, make sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- Coconut Milk: Opt for full-fat coconut milk to achieve a rich and creamy consistency. Light coconut milk can be used for a lower calorie option, but the soup will be less creamy.
- Blending: Blend the soup until smooth for a velvety texture. If you prefer a chunkier consistency, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest chunky.
- Seasoning: Adjust the seasoning to your taste. Add more black pepper for a spicier kick or additional salt if needed.
- Garnishing: Garnish the soup with a drizzle of coconut milk, a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, or a few broccoli florets for added texture and visual appeal.
