Introduction

My own take on broccoli soup... Eliminated celery (although many recipes call for celery) as the flavour tends to overpower the broccoli. And I love broccoli. My own take on broccoli soup...

Ingredients

    Broccoli, chopped (1 cup)
    Garlic, 1 clove
    Red onion, chopped (1/2)
    Carrot, 1/2 of medium
    Baby potato (1 pc)
    Skimmed milk (2 tbsp)
    Vegetable stock (approx 1 cup or so, adjust to achieve thickness of soup preferred)

Tips

Play around with amount of vegetable stock to experiment with preferred consistency.


Directions

Vegetable stock:
I make my own by boiling the stem of broccoli, carrots, potatoes and some mashed garlic. Remove the veggies, set aside the stock.

Broccoli:
At the same time, stir fry onion and garlic with olive oil until onion softens and becomes a bit translucent and fragrance of garlic surfaces. Add in chopped broccoli florets. Continue to stir fry for approximately 4 to 5 mins until broccoli turns bright green and softens slightly; toss in the other vegetables and continue to stir fry for another 1 to 2 mins. Set aside to cool.

Put vegetables, skim milk and 1/2 cup vegetable stock in blender and blend. Add stock to make blending easier, if required.

Return blended veggies to heat, add more stock if preferred. Add grated parmesan cheese and red chilli flakes or ground black pepper (I like a bit of zing) just before turning off heat.
