 Ingredients

3-4 broccoli florets

1/2 cup chopped, broccoli stalks

1 small onion chopped

3-4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tsp olive oil

5-6 almond , soaked for 4-5 hours and peeled

1 cup vegetable stock or water

1 tsp lime juice

salt and pepper to taste

50 ml almond milk for topping

soak the almonds in a jug of cold water for a few hours. 

Take a saucepan and heat olive oil. Add chopped onion and garlic and saute over a medium-high heat for a few minutes until browned. Then add the chopped broccoli stalks and sauté for 2 more minutes.

Add the vegetable stock or water and drained almonds, and simmer over a low heat for 10 minutes.

Stir in the broccoli florets, put the lid on and simmer for 3 minutes.Transfer the mixture to a blender together with the lemon juice and salt and black pepper, and blend until smooth. 

Check the consistency of the soup is how you like it. If you want a thinner soup, just add some more vegetable broth or water, or you could even add a little almond milk for an even creamier flavour.
