With winters already knocking up on the door, all of us need winter soup recipes which do not take loads of your time but the tasty soup recipes that are simple and easy to cook and pack tons of flavor. Roasted Broccoli cheese soup is one of those healthy winter soups that creamy and flavourful. Just perfect soup recipe to make you warm from inside out this winter.
Roasted broccoli cheese soup might not look as green as the regular broccoli soup looks, but I can guarantee you that this one packs a good punch of flavors and is creamy without that extra blob of cream (in fact no cream here at all). The best thing it takes just 30 minutes in total and 10 minutes of active cooking. Sold on? Let's talk about this super delicious roasted broccoli cheese soup recipe.
Roasting broccoli or any other veggie brings out the depth of flavor, so whenever I am making soups and have little extra time at hand I go for roasted vegetable soup rather than blanching or boiling. you can even use the soft part of broccoli stalks in this soup. If you like to add more flavors Go on and add vegetable stock for extra bold flavors.
But in this soup, I used plain water because I wanted the flavor of za’atar to shine through. Yes, Za’atar again because I can’t really get enough of this wonderful spice from Middle Eastern cuisine. It’s warming, it adds a great amount of flavor to any dish , so this winters you are going to see a lot of recipes with Za’atar on my tasty curry 🙂
