FAQs

Q: Can I use fresh broccoli instead of roasted?
A: Yes. Steam or roast fresh broccoli first. Roasting gives more flavor, but steamed works fine.

A: No. You can use chicken or vegetable broth, but bone broth adds more protein and rich flavor.

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: This recipe uses feta and cottage cheese, so it is not dairy-free. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream and a nut-based cheese, but the protein and texture will change.

Q: Will the soup be very salty with feta?
A: Feta can be salty. Taste the blended soup before adding more salt and adjust as needed.

Q: Can I reheat the soup in a microwave?
A: Yes. Heat in short intervals and stir often to keep the texture smooth.
