Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Cream Soup Recipes     Potato Leek Soup Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 slices bacon, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 large leeks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 cups chicken stock
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups broccoli florets
2 ½ cups whole milk
3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Stir the bacon and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until the bacon has turned golden brown and released its grease, about 7 minutes. Add the butter, leeks, onion, and celery. Cook and stir until the leeks have softened, about 7 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken stock, potatoes, herbes de Provence, coriander, fennel, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are just beginning to turn tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the broccoli, and simmer 5 minutes. Add the milk, and continue simmering until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes more.
  • 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. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper; sprinkle with chopped green onions to serve.

BROCCOLI-DILL PASTA



Broccoli-Dill Pasta image

Bryant Terry, an Oakland, Calif., chef with two young daughters, developed this recipe to make eating broccoli a treat. It worked: Blanched and puréed with lemon, garlic and a little of what he calls "umami powder," the broccoli transforms into a deeply flavorful vegan spread that's also highly adaptable. Thin it with pasta water and toss it with hot noodles, as seen here, or scrape it into a bowl as a dip for crudités. Spread it onto a thick piece of toast and cover it with sliced radishes, dill and crunchy salt. Use some to drown a softly poached egg, drizzle with olive oil, and eat with a spoon, or to dress warm white beans, then shower them with black pepper and grated cheese. Whatever you do, don't skip rinsing the broccoli with cold water after you blanch it; the step keeps the spread a vibrant green.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings, plus extra umami powder

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms, roughly chopped
3/4 cup whole raw cashews
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons raw pine nuts
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium head broccoli, cut into florets, thick stem reserved for another use
8 ounces dried pasta, such as spaghetti
1/2 cup loosely packed roughly chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup umami powder
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Fresh lemon juice, as needed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  • Prepare the umami powder: Grind the porcini in a spice grinder until pulverized, then transfer to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and pulse until the mixture is broken down into a fine meal. Transfer to a jar or lidded container. (Makes about 1 1/4 cups.)
  • Prepare the pasta: Season the boiling water with salt, then add the broccoli and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the broccoli, then rinse with cold water and gently pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until tender.
  • While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: In the same food processor (no need to wash it out), combine the cooked broccoli, dill, garlic and 1/3 cup umami powder; process until finely chopped. With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula, and blend again, then season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and drain the cooked pasta. Return the pasta to the pot, and toss with broccoli sauce, thinning with a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to help coat the pasta. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with a sprinkle of umami powder and fresh dill.
