Ginger and broccoli. Who would have thought these two ingredients would combine to create an awesome winter-warming soup?
We were a little unsure at first, but we’ve totally fallen for this delicious spicy broccoli soup. The chilli brings a lovely kick, which makes it all the more worthwhile!
When it’s cold outside, there’s literally nothing better than snuggling up with a warm, wholesome soup and watching the world pass by outside.
This soup is packed with nutrients, from fibre and potassium to vitamin C, and it’s the perfect remedy to fight of the winter cold.
Ready in under 30 minutes and using only 5 ingredients. No fuss!

Ingredients
The 5 ingredients:
- 400g (14oz) potato
- 300g (10.5oz) broccoli
- 1 litre (4 cups) vegetable stock
- ½ tsp chilli flakes, plus extra for garnish
- large thumb of ginger
The cupboard essentials:
- salt
- pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
Method
- Drizzle a little olive oil in a saucepan on a medium heat. While the saucepan heats up, rinse the potato then cut it into 3cm (1 inch) size chunks. Then break up the broccoli into florets. Add the potato chunks and broccoli florets to the saucepan and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile prepare the vegetable stock. Then peel the ginger and roughly chop it into small pieces.
- Add the vegetable stock, chilli flakes, and ginger to the saucepan and bring the soup to the boil, then simmer with the lid on for 10-15 minutes or until all the veggies are soft.
- Transfer the soup to a blender and blend until totally smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and blend again to combine.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of chilli flakes.

Been feeling under the weather so made this as there’s nothing better than soup when you’re poorly! Highly recommend this it’s so yummy!! Maybe not for people who don’t enjoy spicy food though but one of the tastiest soups I’ve ever had and super easy to make!
This recipe was life changing for me. It’s so simple, yet complex. I can make it easily on even the most chaotic evening. I have used the basic potatoes and broth to create many other variations. We frequently make versions that are lemony asparagus and curry cauliflower! It’s the perfect healthy comfort food!
Just made this for lunch – delicious! My husband declared it was the best soup he’d ever had! We made ours quite spicy, but I think this would work well without the chilli too. Super quick and easy to make, so a new addition to our ‘regular’ meals list I think! Thanks for the recipe!
Amazing! So glad you and your husband enjoyed the recipe 🙂 Best, Roxy
What the hell does “this time of year” mean? Which hemisphere? Are you totally unaware that this is the INTERNET which covers the whole world and is not dependent upon geography or time?
Hey Bob! We’re not sure where we say “this time of year”, but in case you weren’t aware it’s a popular saying which is relative to the date in which it is used. If we were to use it in the context of this recipe, which it doesn’t look like we did, then it would probably be used to imply this recipe is suitable for winter months here in the UK. Hope that helps!
Very warming for this time of year! (November in Scotland just to be clear ) thanks for the recipe it went down well in our house – delicious, quick and easy what more could you want?!
