For an even richer flavor, consider using roasted broccoli. Toss the florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) until tender and slightly browned before adding them to the soup. To ensure a silky-smooth texture, strain the pureed soup through a fine-mesh sieve before adding the creamy sauce. If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter alternative, and use vegetable broth and plant-based milk. Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Garnish with croutons, a dollop of sour cream, or freshly grated cheese for added flair.
