Steps:
- *Prepare the broccoli rice by cutting off the broccoli stalk, slicing off the tough outer layer and chopping the stack roughly, along with the florets before adding into the blender. Blitz until the mixture becomes crumbly (not mushy) Avoid overcrowding the blender and make broccoli rice in batches if you have to.
- Dissolve the stock cubes in the hot water.
- In a large pot heat up the oil, add the garlic and onion and fry over a medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the broccoli rice and continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the spinach, pour in 3/4 of the stock, cover and bring to a boil, then simmer for 3 more minutes. Puree the soup, add the remaining stock if necessary, adjust the seasoning (I only added some pepper) and enjoy!

CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP
This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Steps:
- In a medium pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes.
- Add flour and cook, stirring, until combined, 1 minute.
- Whisking constantly, add broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes.
- Add broccoli and bring to a simmer. Cook until broccoli is very tender, 20 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl. In batches, fill a blender halfway with mixture and puree until smooth; to allow heat to escape, remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid with a dish towel, and hold down firmly while blending. Return soup to pot as pureed.
- Add cream and heat over medium until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with broth or water, if desired.
