Lemon Broccoli Soup with Parmesan

Lemon Broccoli Soup with Parmesan

Sometimes only soup will do. This recipe is perfect paired with a salad; as a wintry-inspired side to a meaty main; or best yet, solo on a cozy night. Filling, hearty … but not heavy. It comes together with little prep in about an hour, even less if you opt out of adding the rind. Although, I highly recommend investing in this flavor-enhancing step — think of it as culinary upcycling.


INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons butter
5 cups broccoli stems, chopped
2 cups celery, chopped
3 cups onion, chopped
8 teaspoons garlic, minced
6 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
1 Parmesan rind
4 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons lemon juice, preferably Meyer
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
¼ cup Parmesan, grated
