PREPARATION

Soup:

250 g leeks, roughly chopped
125 g celery, roughly chopped
1 large white onion, sliced
1 clove of garlic
300 g broccoli, roughly chopped
2.5 litre vegetable stock
200 g Violife Creamy
20 g za'atar spice blend

Za'atar B+tter

10 g za'atar spice blend
125 g Flora Plant B+tter Unsalted
3 g flaked sea salt
1 large sourdough baguette

Soup:

Toss the broccoli with the olive oil and za’atar spice.
Roast in the oven until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
Melt the Flora Unsalted B+tter in a large pan and sweat off the leeks, onions, garlic and celery, until softened.
Add in the hot vegetable stock and simmer.
Add in the roasted spiced broccoli and simmer for a few minutes before blending until smooth.
Once you have reached a smooth consistency (adding a little more stock if necessary) stir in the Violife Creamy until it melts into the soup completely.
Serve with a drizzle of Flora Plant Cream, a sprinkle of za’atar and warm baguette with za’atar B+tter.

Za'atar B+tter

Allow the B+tter to soften to room temperature, blend with the za’atar and smoked salt.
Spread onto slices of warmed sourdough bread and dip into the soup when serving.
