Ingredients

  • 500g fresh broccoli, chopped
  • 200g fresh scallops, cleaned
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 cup cream or milk (for a lighter option)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), for garnish

Steps

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped broccoli to the pot and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable or chicken stock, bring to a simmer, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
  3. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Return to the heat and stir in the cream or milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. While the soup is heating, season the scallops with salt and pepper. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a separate pan over high heat and sear the scallops for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve the soup in bowls, topping each with a few seared scallops. Garnish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired. Serve immediately.
