Oops sorry I didn’t post yesterday! Today’s meatless Monday recipe is brought to you by Tuesday.
I know it has a crazy name. You can call it cream of broccoli soup. But don’t you think the name cream of stinky is more fun? This is my daughter’s favorite soup. Enjoy!
What You Need
2 Lbs. fresh broccoli ( cleaned and cut into pieces)
4 Cups vegetable broth ( you can use chicken too)
1/2 Cup chopped green onions
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1/4 Cup flour
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
½ tsp pepper
1 cup Cream ( half and half)
Food processor ( or blender)
Large saucepan with lid
Non stick fry pan
Small mixing bowl
Whisk
Lets Make It! Bring broth to a boil in saucepan over medium high heat, add the broccoli. Reduce heat to med low cover and simmer until broccoli is fork tender ( about 10 minutes). Add olive oil to fry pan, add onions and sauté onions until tender and then stir into broth. Remove from heat and let cool about 15 minutes. Puree in small batches in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour it back into the saucepan don’t heat yet. In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg and pepper. Slowly add the cream and whisk constantly to blend. Gradually stir into the puree. Heat uncovered over medium heat until heated through, stirring occasionally to avoid lumps. Garnish with broccoli florets if desired
Serves 4

I LOVE broccoli! And it’s definitely not as stinky as asparagus.

The title just made me laugh out loud today especially when I imagined it on the menu in a lovely restaurant.
Soup seems to be delicious and I will be giving it a try this week!
Thanks Katherine and I hope your day is lovely.

That’s so funny, it reminds me of what I call green beans, “Squeegies” they have the look and the sound of squeegies on a window! That soup looks delish, too.
