Ingredients
 

  • 1 medium to large broccoli approx. 1 pound, stem too!, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
  • 1 onion roughly chopped
  • 10 curry leaves
  • 1 Serrano pepper or green chili roughly chopped
  • 3 large garlic cloves roughly chopped
  • 1- inch knob ginger roughly chopped
  • 4 cups broth vegetable or chicken
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne optional
  • 1 13.5 oz can full-fat unsweetened coconut milk

Instructions
 

Instant Pot

  • Chop up the broccoli and stem. Remove the tough/woody bottom portion of the vegetable.
  • Press sauté, add coconut oil and when it melts add mustard seeds. Once the seeds begin to splutter, add the onions, curry leaves, green chili, and stir-fry for 7-8 minutes or until the onions begin to brown.
  • Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients except for the coconut milk to the pot.
  • Secure the lid, close pressure valve and cook for 1 minute (the pressure cooker will take several minutes to reach pressure before it begins to count down).
  • Naturally release pressure.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup in the pot (or if using a blender, blend and pour the soup back into the pot)
  • Press sauté, add the coconut milk and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until heated through.

Stovetop

  • Chop up the broccoli and stem. Remove the end or any tough/woody portion of the vegetable.
  • In a dutch oven (or heavy-bottomed pot), add coconut oil and mustard seeds. Once the seeds begin to splutter, add the onions, curry leaves, green chili and a pinch of salt.
  • Saute until the onions turn golden and then add garlic and ginger.
  • After a couple minutes, add broccoli, spices, broth to the pot.
  • Bring it to a boil then lower the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup in the pot (or if using a blender, blend and pour the soup back into the pot)
  • Add the coconut milk to the pot, bring the soup to a simmer, then turn off the heat and serve.

Notes
