All you need to make this Creamy Broccoli Soup is: extra virgin olive oil, an onion, garlic, broccoli, low-sodium chicken stock, fresh spinach, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and plain Greek yogurt.
Serve with an extra dollop of Greek yogurt, some chopped parsley or chives, and some crusty bread to complete the meal!
