Broccoli cream soup is a comforting and very popular dish in many Latin American countries, although its origin dates back to European cuisine, particularly France, where vegetable creams are traditional. In different Latin American countries, this soup may have different names, but it is generally known as "broccoli cream" or "cream of broccoli soup." In Mexico, for example, it is common to find it as part of home menus or in restaurants that offer international cuisine adapted with local ingredients. In countries like Colombia or Argentina, it is also enjoyed under the same name, being an ideal dish for cold days or as a starter for a special meal.
Broccoli, the main ingredient, is widely grown in the region, which facilitates its use in various preparations. This cream combines the vegetable's smoothness with the deep flavor of herbs and the creamy touch provided by milk and butter, resulting in a rich and nutritious soup. Furthermore, it is an excellent option for those looking for healthy and easy-to-prepare dishes, adapting very well to different tastes and culinary preferences.
