Cream of broccoli with hot butter
6 servings
25 minutes
Broccoli cream with spicy oil is an elegant and refined dish of British cuisine that combines tenderness and spiciness. This cream soup has a silky texture thanks to potatoes and cream, while broccoli gives it a rich green color and a fresh, slightly nutty flavor. Leeks and garlic create a warm, deeply aromatic base, while chicken broth enriches the taste, making it harmonious. The finishing touch is the spicy oil made from chili, basil, and olive oil that adds brightness, spiciness, and expressiveness to the soup. This dish is perfect for cool evenings when you crave warming yet refreshing food. The cream soup can be served with crispy crackers or soft rolls to add a contrasting note to its delicate consistency.
