1

Put a pot over medium-high heat, add the oil and sauté the onion, garlic, leek, and celery for 5 minutes. Then add the broccoli, bay leaf, spices, stock, cheese, and salt. Cook until the broccoli has softened and the cheese has melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
2

Remove the bay leaf. Using a handheld blender (or a stand blender), purée the soup until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a little more stock or water. Serve piping hot with crunchy bread!
