Cream of broccoli soup with wholemeal croutons

Peel the onion and chop it finely. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the onion over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until translucent.

Meanwhile, crush the garlic. Add it to the pot with the onion and sauté for another 1 minute.

Pour the vegetable broth over the sautéed vegetables, add the broccoli florets, and simmer everything over medium heat for 10–15 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.
