Broccoli and basil soup

Method

1. Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large pan and cook the onion, potato and celery for about 10 minutes or until soft.
2. Add the broccoli, garlic, stock and boiling water. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the veg is cooked through.
3. Stir through most of the basil (including stalks), saving a few leaves to garnish.
4. Blend the soup in a blender (you may need to do this in batches). Season with black pepper.
5. Return soup to the pan to reheat if necessary. Season with pepper to taste and garnish with the remaining basil before serving.
