5 Ingredient Broccoli Cheese Soup Recipe 435 Food

THE BEST BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes, then gradually whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Add the chicken broth, broccoli, bay leaves, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and few grinds of black pepper Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the broth has thickened and the broccoli is very tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prick the potato all over with a fork and put on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until tender, flipping halfway through, about 6 minutes. Let cool, then peel. Use a fork or potato masher to mash until crumbly.
• Reserve 2 cups of the soup in a liquid measuring cup and discard the bay leaves. Let the remaining hot soup cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Add the mashed potato. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until very smooth.
• Stir the pureed soup and reserved 2 cups of soup back into the pot. Whisk in the cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into serving bowls and top with more shredded Cheddar.

BROCCOLI SOUP WITH CRISPY CROUTONS & GOAT'S CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 190C. Put the bread in a bowl and add the oil and a little salt. Mix well to coat the bread, then tip onto a baking tray. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crunchy and golden.
• Meanwhile, chop the broccoli stalks and florets, but keep them separate. Melt the butter in a pan, then add the onion, broccoli stalks and nutmeg and fry for 5 minutes until soft. Add the broccoli florets and stock, then the milk. Cover and simmer gently for 8 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
• Take out about four ladles of broccoli, then blend the rest in a food processor or with a hand blender, until smooth. Return the reserved broccoli to the soup and check for seasoning. (The soup will keep in the fridge for 2 days or you can cool and freeze it and keep the croutons in a plastic food bag.)
• To serve, reheat if necessary and scatter with the croutons and goat's cheese.

5 INGREDIENT BROCCOLI SOUP

Steps:

• Chop the broccoli into 1 inch pieces and slice the carrot into rounds.
• Chop 1/2 of a red onion or the whole thing if its a small one.
• Heat the olive oil, in a pot big enough to hold all the vegetables, over medium heat and saute the onion first for 1 minute.
• Add the rest of the vegetables.
• Season with salt and pepper(use white pepper if you have it) and cook until the onion turns translucent. About 10 minutes.
• Add just enough chicken broth to cover the broccoli. (I like to use homemade chicken broth whenever I can.)
• Bring to a simmer and cook until the broccoli is soft and tender.
• Remove from heat and cool for a minute or 2.
• Blend the soup in batches so it doesnt explode and make a mess.
• Transfer the soup into a new clean pot and stir in the milk.
• If you want it to be thinner add more chicken stock and season with salt and pepper.
