2 cups broccoli florets, chopped small, and rinsed

3 cups cauliflower florets, chopped small, and rinsed

1 cup carrot, diced ( optional for low-carb, keto diet)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 yellow onion, diced

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

6 cups (1,5l) vegetable broth

1 (15oz – 420g) can diced tomatoes, drained (or 4 tomatoes, diced)

1 tablespoon Italian dried herbs

A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

Salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Fresh grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving

DIRECTIONS

To make the broccoli cauliflower soup: In a large pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant for about 2 minutes. Add carrot and cook stirring occasionally for 2 – 3 minutes. Add the broth, tomatoes, Italian herbs, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to combine all of the flavors together.
Stir in the rinsed broccoli and cauliflower florets, and continue to simmer gently until cooked through but still crunchy, approx. 5 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, garnish with parmesan and fresh parsley and serve the broccoli cauliflower soup immediately. Enjoy!
