Name of Recipe: broccoli and cheese soup
Number of People: 4 hungry or 5 to 6 as a starter
Ingredients:BROCCOLI AND CHEESE SOUP
2 onions, 30 - 50 g butter ( could use oil) , 450gms broccoli, 560mls stock, 85 gms grated cheddar cheese,
140 ml single cream
Very quick to make and delicious.
Preparation:Put butter in
and melt.
Peel and quarter onions drop on running blades speed 4 to chop.
cook in
5 mins speed 2 100'. until softened.
Trim, wash and chop broccoli (I peel the stalks and stick them in, weighing the veg after prep) and add to
turning in buttery juices for a minute or two. Add stock for 20 mins speed 3 to 4 100'. Check cooked. Season to taste and stir in cheese (and cream if using) at 90' until well amalgamated.
Tips/Hints: Lots of variations:
swirl of cream to add wow factor on serving.
Add more liquid if needed or preferred.
Can use more stock and no cream, or milk instead of cream.
I tend to use a mix of creams and milk depending on fridge contents.
Butter adds better flavour but can use less or oil.
I use chicken stock or veggie if no chicken available.
Today I used 1 large onion, 1 small leek and 1 stick of celery.
I take my own serving out and add slightly less cheese to rest.
Everyone likes this soup even non broccoli eaters, just think of a different name.
I hope you like my conversion and enjoy the soup. We had it for lunch today.
