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!
