Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 lbs broccoli
1 cup leeks or 1 cup green onion, chopped
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup light cream
1 cup swiss cheese, grated
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Cut enough 1-inch florets from broccoli to measure 2 cups. Cut rest of broccoli into 1-inch pieces. Cook florets and broccoli separately, in lightly salted water; until just tender. (Florets will be done first.) Immediately rinse in cold water to chill completely. Drain. Set florets aside until serving time.
  • In a large saucepan, saute leeks in butter until tender; about 3 - 4 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and cook for a minute or so, stirring with a whisk. Remove from heat and stir in chicken stock. Return to heat and simmer 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Add broccoli pieces (not florets) to chicken stock and puree in an electric blender, in batches, until smooth.
  • Shortly before serving, blend in cream and cheese. Simmer gently until cheese melts. Add nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Add reserved broccoli florets to heat through. Serve immediately.

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

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love the addition of the croutons, they add a nice crunch to the soup.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. I also found the broccoli to be a bit overcooked.

Overall, I thought this soup was good. It was easy to make and had a nice flavor. However, I found it to be a bit too thick for my taste. Next time, I would add more broth or milk to thin it out.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The Swiss cheese and Gruyère add a delicious flavor that really makes the soup special. I also love the addition of the croutons.

This Swiss Broccoli Soup was a hit with my family! It was creamy, cheesy, and so flavorful. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and the cheese added a delicious richness. I will definitely be making this soup again.
