Creamy Broccoli Soup
Blend the broccoli soup in batches until smooth. Return to the pot and heat through over a low flame. Stir in the remaining lemon juice. Taste for salt. Serve in bowls with a drizzle of EVOO and a dollop of scallion gremolata.
Scallion Gremolata
Chop together the scallions, parsley, and lemon zest. When roughly chopped, sprinkle with sea salt and keep chopping until the herbs are medium-fine. Add the olive oil.
