Broccoli-Mascarpone Soup

This broccoli and mascarpone soup is a wonderfully silky vegetarian starter or light lunch that celebrates simple, fresh ingredients. The base of sautéed shallots and tender broccoli florets creates a vibrant green colour and a delicate savoury flavour, while a touch of cayenne pepper adds a subtle, warming heat. It is a sophisticated yet easy recipe that relies on the richness of Italian cream cheese to provide a luxurious, velvety texture.

Ideal for mid-week meals or entertaining, this comforting soup can be prepared a day in advance and gently reheated without losing its bright appeal. The chilled mascarpone garnish adds a cool, creamy contrast to the hot liquid, while fresh chives provide a sharp, aromatic finish. Serve it alongside some crusty sourdough bread for a wholesome and satisfying homemade meal.
