Title: Broccoli Soup
Post by: hopefulcook on September 16, 2010, 06:16:10 am
Broccoli Soup
Serves 4 - 6

Ingredients:
1 onion
1-2 cloves garlic
10 - 20g olive oil or butter
400g broccoli including stalks, roughly chopped
600g water
1 tbs veg stock contentrate
2 potatoes (250g) cubed
Cream (to taste)
S&P to taste

Preparation:
1. Chop onion and garlic for 10 seconds speed 7
2. Add oil/butter and saute for 3 min 100 degrees speed 4
3. Add broccoli and chop for 10 seconds on speed 5
4. Add water, stock, potatoes and cook for 15 mins on speed 1, 100 degrees
5. Add cream and blitz from speed 1 to speed 8 for 30 seconds

Tips/Hints:
I think by not chopping the potatoes in the TM at the start it doesn't make the soup overly starchy, but it is nice and thick.

Note - You can use the same method with zucchini too. If you want to make it a bit more special add 1/2 or 1/4 tsp pesto into each bowl, on a dollop of yogurt.

members' comments a lovely soup

Uni - I've been adding yogurt (TM yogurt) to my soups lately instead of cream or a little cube of blue vein cheese, yum.

Rara1 - Added 700g of broccoli, 1 extra potato and 800g water. The jug was filled to the max.

MF - Added some home made pesto and grated Parmesan.

Katj - I used  Light & Creamy evaporated milk in place of cream. Perfect!

Anniebygaslight - We love broccoli soup with Stilton.

Jeninwa - I used cauliflower, broccoli and about 100g of zucchini. Everyone loved it.

Good work hopefulcook.  Like the idea of adding the potato later. You are probably right there.  :-* :-* :-*

We really enjoy broccoli soup, especially when our neighbour brings us beautiful fresh broccoli. A bowl for him is a cheap price for it.

Made this tonight and was a hit in our family too.  Good to be able to use up all the broccoli around at the moment.

does this really need the cream in it to taste alright? I only ask because my hubby and I are looking for low fat soups to kick start our "healthy eating" and were hoping this could be on the menu?

Haven't made it yet this winter. Must do it this week. You can use the same method with zucchini too. If you want to make it a bit more special add 1/2 or 1/4tsp pesto into each bowl, on a dollop of yogurt.

I'm not crazy about broccoli either - but I have a couple of small heads of it in the fridge - this sounds a good way to use them up before they disappear to the compost heap :-))  MF - the addition of the pesto and parmesan sounds really good! :)

We love broccoli soup with Stilton.  Will be using this recipe and adding a bit of the cheese when my Thermomix arrives.
