Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Broccoli

   Cut one medium head of broccoli into florets and wash them thoroughly in water.

   Soak 10-12 almonds in hot water for a few minutes, then peel the skin off.

3. 3.Chop Onion

   Finely chop half a medium onion.

4. 4.Sauté Aromatics and Broccoli

   Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan. Add 2-3 cloves of chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the chopped onion and cook until it softens, about 2-3 minutes. Add the washed broccoli florets to the pan. Add about 1/4 cup of water, cover, and cook until the broccoli becomes tender, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5.Add Nuts and Cook

   Add the peeled almonds and 8-10 cashews to the pan. Mix well and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

   In the same pan, melt 1 teaspoon of butter and add 1-2 cloves of finely chopped garlic, sautéing until light golden. Pour the prepared broccoli and almond paste into the pan.

8. 8.Season and Simmer

   Add 1-1.5 cups of water to adjust the soup consistency and mix well. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add 1-2 tablespoons of grated cheese (optional) and mix until melted. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of oregano and 1/2 teaspoon of red chilli flakes. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the soup thickens slightly. Serve hot.
