- Roughly chop 1 head of broccoli into florets. Steam or boil broccoli until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
- Reserve 3/4 cup of the broccoli cooking water; discard the rest.
- Add the cooked broccoli to the blender. If necessary, add a few florets at a time for easier blending.

- Stir in the reserved broccoli cooking water, diced cooked broccoli, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Continue to heat until heated through and fully combined. Do not boil. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
