Ingredients

  • 2 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 1 piece Green, raw

  • 1 piece Leek

  • 1 piece Potatoes, white

  • 500 g Broccoli, fresh

  • 20 g Butter, unsalted

  • 1 l Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 120 g Cheese, Gorgonzola

  • pieces Salt, table

Steps

  1. Peel and finely chop the onion. Clean and wash the vegetables. Cut the celery, leek, and potato into pieces, and separate the broccoli into florets. Peel the stem and cut it into pieces.

  2. Heat oil in a pot and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent. Add the chopped vegetables and a piece of butter to the pot. Sauté the vegetables while stirring until the butter melts, then cover the pot and simmer the vegetables on low heat for 5 minutes.

  3. Pour the broth into the pot and cook the vegetables uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they soften.

  4. Once the vegetables are soft, remove the pot from the heat and blend the soup smoothly using an immersion blender (you can also blend it in a kitchen blender).

  5. Crumble the cheese into the soup and stir until most of the cheese melts. Taste the soup and season it with pepper or salt if needed. Serve the prepared soup in deep bowls or soup cups, garnish with walnut kernels, and enjoy.
