BROCCOLI AND CARROT CHOWDER
To make this soup, cubed carrot and broccoli florets are cooked in broth just until done. Roux with chopped onion is prepared in another pan, the broth is ladled in and cooked until smooth. The vegetables are added and pureed.But what really makes this simple vegetable chowder so good is the texture. A cup or so of the cooked vegetables was reserved and added after the rest had been pureed. The result is a soup that is both smooth and chunky.
