Dairy-free "Cream" of Broccoli Soup Recipe

This is a very simple recipe that I picked up last year. I was going to share the link to the original post but it has been taken down. Here is a link in case it does come back up one day http://www.intentionalconsumption.com/index.php/2011/01/07/cream-of-broccoli-soup/ but until then, I will copy it here from my recipe book. 

Paleo-Friendly "Cream" of Broccoli Soup

2 Tbs coconut oil (or grassfed butter)

1 small onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, pressed

1 quart chicken stock (I use homemade but you could use store-bought)

1-2 large heads of fresh broccoli, chopped partially steamed and divided

1 handful of shredded carrots 

1 cup coconut milk 

In a stock pot, heat coconut oil over med/low ehat. Sautee onions nad garlic until tender (a few minutes). Add half of the broccoli and the handful of carrot shreds. Let boil on low/simmer for 5 to 6 minutes. Turn off heat and puree in a blender. Return to heat and add remaining broccoli and coconut milk. Let simmer for about a minute. That's it! Serves 4.
