BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• Roughly chop the onion, garlic, broccoli and cauliflower. Firstly add the onion, garlic and cooking oil to a large cooking pot (for a healthier option try sunflower fry spray).
• Once the onion and garlic has softened (this will only take a couple of minutes) add the chopped broccoli and cauliflower. Then add the stock, this should cover approx. half the ingredients. For more broth type soup add approx. another 100-200ml of water
• Add a pinch of salt and pepper and then bring the stock to a simmer and cover with lid. Once the ingredients have become soft (after approx. 20 mins) pour the ingredients into a blender or use a hand blender.
• Tip - For a creamer soup add cream or a couple of potatoes (bear in mind, potatoes will take longer to cook, so consider part boiling them before adding into the soup pot). This soup can also be frozen.

CREAMY BROCCOLI CAULIFLOWER SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot sauté, Onion & Celery if used, when translucent, place 2-3 cups of water in pot and bring to a boil. Add Cauliflower & Broccoli, cover and cook over medium heat, until just before tender, about 5 minutes. Do not drain water. Add bouillon ( I use a soup base, not the cubes) to water and then add all the soups. Mix and add additional water to the desired thickness. I also use a Stick Blender at this time to chop up some of the larger chunks of the Broccoli & Cauliflower, be careful not to pulverize all of the chunks. Leave some of the chunks to give it texture. I then add some fine grated cheese to the top of the bowls and some flavored croutons.
