Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F° (218°C)
Chop off the broccoli florets and cut the stem into thin slices.
Place broccoli florets on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until charred.
While the broccoli is roasting, heat one TBSP (15 ml) of olive oil in a large Dutch oven.
Sauté the leeks for 5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute.
Add the sliced broccoli stems and vegetable stock to the pot. Simmer for 15-20 minutes on medium heat until the stems are soft.
Turn heat down to low and add the roasted broccoli florets, lemon juice, coconut milk, spices, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 more minutes. Save some florets for garnishing the soup.
Turn the heat off and when cooled down a bit, transfer soup to a high speed blender and blend on high for 60 seconds. This may have to be done in batches depending on the size of your blender.
Garnish with broccoli florets and enjoy! (leave off and only eat smooth soup for IBD-AID P2, strictures and Flares)
