Broccoli Gruyere Soup image

From http://skinnygourmet.blogspot.com/2008/12/healthy-meets-indulgence-cheddar-and.html, but I added fat back in and made it lower carb by replacing the flour/skim milk with heavy cream. This looks amazing and I'm looking forward to trying it soon.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 head cauliflower
1/2 carrot
1 1/4 lbs broccoli
3 cups chicken broth
6 ounces yellow sweet onions
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves
1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (preferably chipotle)
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 1/2 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese
3 1/2 ounces gruyere
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the carrot (peeled but not chopped) and the cauliflower (also one big hunk) into a large pot with 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring the broth to a boil then reduce to a low boil. Add the broccoli and steam until the broccoli is al dente.
  • Drain the broth into a liquid measuring cup. Add more chicken broth to increase the total volume to 3 cups. Remove the cauliflower and carrot (which should be well softened) and puree. Set aside.
  • Add butter to a skillet, and saute diced onion, pepper flakes and garlic over medium low until softened and slightly carmelized. Add cream. Cook over medium for four minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in the reserved chicken broth. Return to heat over medium and bring to slow boil. Boil 1 minute then remove from heat. Stir in the vegetable puree. Slowly add the shredded cheese in small amounts, stirring to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more milk or broth.

This soup was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less Gruyère.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but this soup was delicious! The cheese and cream mellowed out the broccoli flavor perfectly. I would definitely make this again.
