- 750g broccoli stalks and florets, chopped

- Add the curry powder and season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn off the heat and let the soup cool slightly.
- Use a stick blender to mix until the soup is smooth. Add the coconut milk and stir to incorporate it into the soup.
- Turn the heat to high and bring back to the boil before switching off.
- Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.
