This broccoli cream in Thermomix is an easy and comforting recipe, perfect as a starter or light dinner. The broccoli is steamed in the Varoma, which preserves its nutrients and vibrant green color. Combined with the softness of the onion, the sweetness of the carrot, and the creamy touch of cream and Manchego cheese, the result is a silky and flavorful cream.
This cream is ideal for the whole family, including the little ones who often reject broccoli. Its fine texture and mild flavor make it a very versatile dish: you can serve it as a first course with some croutons, or as a side dish for grilled meats or fish.
