EASY BROCCOLI SOUP



Easy Broccoli Soup image

I saw this being made on TV (AWW) and thought it looked really good. On the programme they said to serve with toasted slices of french bread which were topped with crumbled blue cheese and grilled. I didn't have any on hand so I topped mine with parmesan cheese. I also, the second time round added some chopped bacon and simmered for another 15mins after I had blended the soup. You could also top each bowl of soup with a spoon of cream for a special occasion.

EASY CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP



Easy Cream of Broccoli Soup image

I used to cook the broccoli first and then chop it and add it to the soup but I was rushed for time one day and just made the soup base, threw the chopped broccoli in and simmered it. It tasted the same and I was able to omit a step. You can also stir in a cup or more of shredded cheddar cheese at the end for a broccoli-cheese...

Provided by Jeanne Wise

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch fresh broccoli
1 stick butter
1 c chopped onion
1/2 c all purpose flour
4 c whole milk
4 tsp chicken base
4 c water
dash(es) fresh ground nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the broccoli, peel the stalks, cut the woody ends off and chop, leaving some florets a little larger than others. Set aside.
  • 2. Melt 1/2 stick of the butter in a saucepot, add the onions, a litle salt and pepper and saute over medium heat until translucent. Add the other half stick of butter and when melted add the flour, stir in and saute over medium heat a few minutes.
  • 3. Stir in the milk, water, chicken base and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.(Or you can use 4 cups of chicken broth instead of the chicken base & water.) Add the uncooked broccoli, the dash of nutmeg and bring back to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered about 10 minutes.
  • 4. Using an immersion blender (or a potato masher), lightly blend so some of the broccoli is pureed, leaving some whole pieces. Serve with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • 5. NOTE: You can make a broccoli-cheddar cheese soup by stirring 1 cup of shredded cheddar at the end of the cooking time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into small pieces: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its nutrients.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just stick to broccoli. Add other vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes to make your soup more flavorful and nutritious.
  • Season your soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
  • Serve your soup immediately: Broccoli soup is best served hot. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Broccoli soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and nutritious soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give broccoli soup a try.
