Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Cream Soup Recipes     Cream of Broccoli Soup

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon butter
4 leeks, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
2 heads fresh broccoli, chopped
1 (32 ounce) carton low-sodium chicken broth
1 (12 fluid ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot, and cook the leeks over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, and coriander. Reserve about 1/4 cup of small broccoli florets, and cook the rest of the broccoli with the leeks until the broccoli is bright green, about 5 more minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, bring the soup to a boil, cover, then simmer until the broccoli is very tender, 10 to 15 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 a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  • Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the reserved broccoli florets, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often. Simmer until the broccoli florets are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, and mix in the condensed milk. Serve hot.

Vegan Cream of Broccoli Soup image

We achieved ultimate creaminess without the cream by adding a Yukon gold potato to this low-fat, heart-healthy soup. The nutritional yeast, with its satisfying nuttiness, does a great job standing in for cheese; look for it in health and specialty foods stores.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion (from about 1/2 medium onion)

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until light brown, about 7 minutes. Add the celery, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, 4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Return the heat to medium, cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the broccoli, cover and cook until the broccoli is bright green, about 5 minutes.

LOW-CARB CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP



Low-Carb Cream of Broccoli Soup image

While this recipe is high in fat it works great for people on the Atkins diet. Even after eating two bowls per day I was still in ketosis. Heavy cream has no carbs which is why this works so well for folks on low-carb diets. Also fat is more filling, leading you to eat less and feel more full. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator. It's even better the second day. However, I've found if it sits longer than that the broccoli can become too strong.
