Dairy-Free Creamy Broccoli Soup image

The satiny texture of this soup will make you think it's cream-based, but it's absolutely dairy-free and delicious! It's a perfect dish to use up leftover broccoli stalks that don't fit into other meals. It freezes well and makes a great winter warm-up snack or lunch! Can be served immediately, seasoned with black pepper, curry powder, or even grated cheese (for people who don't mind dairy) or can be frozen in individual portions and microwaved later.

THICK AND CREAMY BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP



Thick and Creamy Broccoli Cheese Soup image

This recipe came from my husbands Uncle Robbie, who is a great Cook. We were visiting him in Memphis on a cold and snowy day gathering groceries for the next few days. I mentioned how great a bowl of TGI Fridays broccoli cheese soup would be. The next thing I know we gathered the ingredients and were savoring this soup. I am so glad we did not go to the restaurant!!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
1 -2 tablespoon cornstarch (to thicken)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

  • Steam Broccoli by either putting in Microwave safe dish with lid and a small amount of water, or on stove in a covered sauce pan and small amount of water.

  • Oil skillet 1/8" in bottom.

CREAMY BROCCOLI WITH MUSTARD SOUP



Creamy Broccoli With Mustard Soup image

A pureed vegetable soup can be an impressive, easy and affordable first course for an elegant dinner, or even a light dinner on its own with salad and bread.

Provided by USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson

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

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds broccoli - stems peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks, remaining broccoli cut into medium florets
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 ½ teaspoons dry mustard
½ teaspoon basil
¼ teaspoon oregano
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Garnish: toasted pine nuts*

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
  • Add broccoli, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Add mustard, basil, oregano, and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  • Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
  • Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

TIM PERRY'S SOUP (CREAMY CURRY CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI SOUP)



TIM PERRY'S SOUP (CREAMY CURRY CAULIFLOWER AND BROCCOLI SOUP) image

Categories     Broccoli     Cauliflower     Cheese     Soup/Stew

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 quart chicken broth
1 onion, finely chopped
1 head cauliflower, finely chopped
1/2 head broccoli, finely chopped
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
1 recipe (to taste) salt and pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • In a stockpot, combine chicken broth, onion, cauliflower, and broccoli. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Continue to simmer until vegetables are tender.
  • Season with curry powder, chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper.
  • In a bowl, combine flour and 1/2 cup of the milk. Whisk briskly until there are no lumps. Add mixture to soup, stirring continuously as soup thickens.
  • Stir in Cheddar cheese until completely melted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Wash the broccoli thoroughly: Broccoli can harbor dirt and pesticides, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before using it. Cut the broccoli into small florets.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
