BROCCOLI CHEESE (SWISS) SOUP - RACHAEL RAY



Broccoli Cheese (Swiss) Soup - Rachael Ray image

Please note: This recipe calls for 10 oz small yellow-fleshed potatoes (like Yukon Gold or similar). FYI, this is approx. 2 small potatoes. (It was difficult to write this out in the recipe, so i just decided to note it here.) This is a nice, filling soup that is easy to make. When I made this, I subbed about half the water with leftover chicken broth. However, I'm sure it tastes just as good (w/out the broth). This is part of a "two-for" recipe, which originally included a recipe for Ham-and-Swiss Toasts (for serving alongside) for a complete meal idea. I have posted the Ham and Swiss Toasts separately.

Steps:

Squash, Bacon, and Swiss Cheese Soup image

This is a lightly spiced squash soup with a layer of warm melty cheese on top, Oh man where's the hot bread. Enjoy!

Provided by Nancy Allen

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lb butternut squash (could also use fresh pumpkin)
8 oz smoked slab bacon
1 Tbsp oil (vegetable)
1 1/2 c roughly chopped onions
2 clove garlic, crushed
2 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp ground coriander
2 c diced potatoes
3 3/4 c vegetable stock
2 tsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp sour cream
hot pepper sauce (optional)
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 c gruyere cheese, grated
crusty bread

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the squash into large pieces. Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the skin, wasting very little. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Chop the squash into small chunks. Remove all fat from the bacon and roughly chop it into small pieces.
  • 2. Heat oil in large saucepan. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, or until they begin to become soft. Add the bacon and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in the spices and cook over low heat for a minute longer.
  • 3. Add the chopped squash, potatoes, and stock. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, and or until the squash and potatoes are tender.
  • 4. Blend the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add to soup with the sour cream. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Adjust the seasoning and add hot pepper sauce to taste. Ladle the soup into warm bowls and sprinkle cheese on top. Serve immediately with crusty bread to scoop up the melted cheese.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Gruyère, Emmental, and Appenzeller.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add vegetables, herbs, or even meat to your soup. Just make sure that the flavors complement each other.
  • Grate the cheese fresh. This will help it melt more evenly and smoothly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much cheese or other ingredients, the soup will be too thick.
  • Simmer the soup over low heat. This will help prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Serve the soup immediately. Swiss cheese soup is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Swiss cheese soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious Swiss cheese soup that your family and friends will love.
