- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium leek, sliced and rinsed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Once simmering, add the broccoli florets and cook for about 10 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant green.
- Stir in the drained white beans, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Let cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the beans through.
- For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup, leaving some chunky bits for texture.
- Stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
