Tuck into this inviting bowl of simply made yet delicious broccoli soup.  We make this without any flour or added thickeners.  Just broccoli, almond milk, whipping cream, and cheese.  A healthy squeeze of lemon juice adds the perfect amount of brightness.  Feel free to make this with fresh florets or even frozen broccoli.

You’ll just need a blender to puree half of the soup.  You could also use a stick blender, just be sure to leave some chunks of broccoli intact.  This soup is great served with pesto crackers.  If you want to use it as a side instead, then divide it into smaller portions and serve with our lemony chicken thighs!
