Introduction

This uses very little fat and no dairy. I live with the lactose intolerant so had to make something with the beautiful broccoli I grew in my garden. This uses very little fat and no dairy. I live with the lactose intolerant so had to make something with the beautiful broccoli I grew in my garden.

Ingredients

    4Large stalks Broccoli, cut florets away from stems
    1 Cup chopped Carrots
    1 Cup Chopped Celery
    1/2 Cup chopped onion
    3 T Olive Oil
    5 cup Chicken Stock

Directions

Makes 8 12 oz servings

Cut the stems away from the florets of broccoli and set florets aside
Chop the broccoli stems into 1 inch pieces
Preheat dutch oven or soup pot to medium and add 2 T olive oil.
Saute the broccoli stems and celery until soft.
Add 2 cups chicken stock and let cook until the broccoli stems break apart easily when pushed down.
Add spinach and let wilt
In two batches using a blender or food processor puree the broccoli stem mixture until it is as smooth as you like. (I like it the consistency of cream of wheat)
Saute the onion and carrots in the same pot using the last T of olive oil
When the onion and carrots are soft add the pureed mixture back to the pot and add 3 more cups of chicken stock.
Heat to simmer.
Serve with a sandwich or chicken breasts and rice.
