Broccoli & Chermoula Soup
Heat the ghee or olive oil in a saucepan until melted then add in the onions and soften for approx 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a minute to soften that too.
Next, add the vegetable broth and the broccoli florets and bring up to a simmer. After two minutes add the peas and simmer for a further few minutes - do not over cook the peas !
Add in the spinach and cook until it has wilted. At this point the broccoli should still be green (we don't want brown soup!).
Pour the veg soup, lemon juice and chermoula paste into a blender (you may need to do this in batches) and blend on the highest setting until smooth taking care as you whizz, you don't want soup all over the kitchen ceiling. Season to taste.
To serve, pour the soup into bowls. Add a drizzle of double cream and some parsley or coriander if you have some to hand.
