SEARED BROCCOLI AND POTATO SOUP
This is not your average broccoli soup. Instead of merely boiling the broccoli to cook it, here, the florets are seared until deeply browned on one side while remaining bright green on the other. This gives the soup a layer of caramelized flavor while also preserving the fresh green taste of the broccoli itself. It's a technique inspired by Andrew Feinberg of Franny's restaurant in Brooklyn, who also uses it for zucchini soup. In this version, we've added potato for body, chile flakes for spice and lemon zest to heighten the citrus tang at the end.

Steps:
- In a large soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat. Add about a third of the broccoli, just enough so that it covers the bottom of the pan in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook broccoli without moving it for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until dark brown on 1 side only (leave the other side bright green). Transfer to a big bowl and repeat with remaining broccoli and more oil. When all the broccoli has been browned, season with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to pan. Add onions and garlic, black and red peppers, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook onion-garlic mixture until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add potato to the pot with 1 quart water and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, cover pot and cook until potato is just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add broccoli, cover again and cook until tender, another 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add lemon zest and roughly purée soup with an immersion or regular blender, leaving some small chunks for texture. Stir in lemon juice. Finish with grated Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper and flaky sea salt.

Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium stock pot over medium heat. Saute onion and celery until tender. Add broccoli and broth, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use an immersion blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium to medium-low heat; stir in flour and add milk. Stir until thick and bubbly, and add to soup. Season with pepper and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For a creamy and flavorful soup, use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These potatoes will break down and thicken the soup as they cook, creating a smooth and velvety texture.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it's tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its vibrant green color and become bland in flavor.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to add your own favorite seasonings and ingredients. For example, you could add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat, or a handful of chopped fresh herbs for a pop of flavor.
Conclusion:
Cream of broccoli and potato soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make, packed with flavor, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
