Spicy broccoli soup
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ inch ginger, chopped
1 tsp cumin powder
½ tsp turmeric powder
1/8 tsp black pepper
Chili flakes to taste (optional)
1 green chili chopped
1 large head of broccoli, cut and also use the stem
2 tomatoes, diced

4 to 5 cups vegetable stock
Sea salt and black pepper to taste

In a large pot heat the olive oil and sauté the garlic, ginger and onion for 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the cumin powder, turmeric and black pepper and sauté for about a minute. Then add in all the other ingredients and bring to a boil.
Next cover with lid, lower the heat and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes. If it is too thick, add some water to get the consistency you desire. Then blend the soup until smooth.
