Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, leeks, and onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the cottage cheese. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until creamy. (Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, then return to the pot.)
- Taste the soup and add a dash of hot sauce, if desired.
- Remove from heat, ladle into a bowl, and garnish with chives.
Recipe Notes
Makes 3 cups of soup in total. Note that this will depend on how much your soup cooks down/how long you simmer it - total amount can vary. If you make this in bulk, I suggest you measure the total amount it makes at the end and then divide it by the number of servings you should get to know how much to serve yourself.

This soup has excellent flavor. I had hoped it would be thicker and creamy but still enjoyed and highly recommend.
