Ingredients
Instructions
- StepHeat butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add scallions, garlic, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and the scallions are bright, about 2 minutes.
- StepStir in the broth and bring to a boil. Add broccoli pieces and simmer until bright green and just tender, about 6 minutes.
- StepWhile broccoli simmers, combine potatoes and water in a microwave-safe bowl or small pot. Cook until the potatoes are very tender (microwave or stovetop), about 4 minutes.
- StepSet aside 1 cup of cooked broccoli in a small bowl. Also reserve 1–2 tbsp of the crumbled feta for garnish.
- StepAdd the cooked potatoes, lemon zest, salt, and the remaining feta to the soup pot. Puree using an immersion blender (or in batches in a stand blender, being careful with hot liquids) until smooth and creamy.
- StepDivide the soup among bowls. In each bowl add some of the reserved broccoli, sprinkle reserved feta, and zest a little more lemon on top. Serve hot.
