Creamy Broccoli Soup with Whole Wheat Croutons

Peel and finely chop the onion. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pot, add the onion, and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until translucent. Meanwhile, finely chop or press the garlic, add it to the pot, and sauté for 1 minute.

Pour the vegetable broth into the pot, add the broccoli florets, and simmer everything over medium heat for 10–15 minutes until the broccoli is soft.

Season the soup with salt and pepper. Remove the pot from the heat, crack in the egg, and immediately blend finely with an immersion blender until the soup has a creamy consistency.
