Fall has officially arrived here in Maine! The leaves are changing color and the nights are now cool and crisp. I love so many things about this time of year. I like to call it "Soup Season" as the weather is finally cold enough to start enjoying all of my favorite soup and stew recipes. Last night I made this delicious Vegetarian Cream of Broccoli Soup. It was so quick and easy to make and the entire family loved it!

Here is what you will need to make the Vegetarian Cream of Broccoli Soup:

• Butter
• Onions
• Garlic
• Garam Masala
• Cumin
• Turmeric
• Ginger
• Flour
• Vegetable Stock
• Broccoli
• Salt
• Heavy Cream

The prep for this only takes about 10 minutes! So, after everything is ready to go, grab a big soup pot and melt the butter over medium heat. Then add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes until tender.

Then, add in the spices: garam masala, cumin, turmeric, and ginger and cook for a minute. I love this combo of spices in the soup, it gives it such a delicious flavor!

Next, add in the flour and stir again for 1 minute or until flour is combined.

It's finally time for the broccoli! Add that along with vegetable stock and salt. Bring it to a boil, then turn the heat down to simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until broccoli is very tender.

Puree in a blender or food processor in batches.

Return the pureed ingredients back to the pot and stir in heavy cream. Heat on low until warm throughout.

Then, serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
