Rinse the broccoli florets with water. Keep in a colander aside.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan or casserole. Add garlic and onion. Saute them for 2 minutes to release the aroma. No need to brown the garlic or onion.
Next, add almonds (without skin), cilantro stalks, and saute for 1 minute.
Add the broccoli florets. Saute for a minute. Add stock or water, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Cover the pan with the lid. Cook the soup for 10 minutes or till broccoli florets are tender.
Blend the soup to a smooth consistency. You can use an immersion blender for this purpose.
Add soup back to the saucepan (if you used a standing blender). Add coconut milk. Bring the soup to the simmer. Stir to combine. Adjust seasoning. Let the soup simmer for 2 - 3 minutes.
Serve Broccoli Soup warm topped with toasted almond flakes, fresh cilantro, and a splash of coconut cream.

You can make this soup in an instant pot as well. Either way, it is a one-pot soup recipe.
You can blanch the almonds in water or soak them overnight in water to remove the brown skin. Do not add almonds with brown skin to the soup.
Instead of coconut milk, you can use almond milk, cashew milk, or regular milk if you are not vegan.
Do not cook the soup for too long as we want to retain the nutrients of the vegetables.
You can store the broccoli soup in the refrigerator for a week. Reheat it in a saucepan or microwave before serving. The color of the soup might change after a few days.
If your blender is not heat resistant then allow the soup to cool down a bit before blending. You can blend it in small batches as well.
I use an immersion blender to blend the soups in the cooking pot itself. You can transfer the soup to a separate blender or Nutri Bullet for blending.
