Cream of Broccoli Soup

1/22/2014

    This soup happened so last minute, it was a little crazy. I had a head of broccoli cut up to steam to have with dinner, but 10 minutes before dinner was to be ready, I decided I would rather have soup! I really just don't like steamed veggies....I know, it's childish, but I don't!

Cream of Broccoli Soup

Ingredients:
​
  • 1 head of broccoli, steamed (simply give it a quick steam with 2 inches of water in the pot you plan to make the soup in. Give them 5 minutes with the boiling water(until they are bright green and tender), & pureed (in a blender with a bit of the water you steamed it in).
  • 4 cups broth (I used veggie bouillon cubes)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2-3 head of garlic, diced.
  • 1/4 Cup sour cream, or plain greek yogurt
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Method:

  1. Into the pot put your broth, onions, garlic and pureed broccoli. 
  2. In a small dish put the sour cream. Scoop out a small amount of the soup, and add it to the sour cream. Whisk until the sour cream is blended, then add this to the soup.
  3. Heat until garlic & onions are tender, and enjoy!

   If you don't want hunks of garlic and onion in your soup, just use a slotted spoon to get them out of the soup once they are tender. Puree them in the blender, and add them back into the soup.

    We had ours with some shredded cheese on top (since I had already shredded the cheese  in anticipation of putting on our plain old steamed broccoli!) :)

   I like to plan ahead my meals (ok, actually I am actually pretty particular and un-moveable about my meals being planned!), but it's also important to be able to adapt, and change in an instant-just incase your inner child comes out and tells you that you don't want broccoli for dinner!

This looks so perfect! I made something last minute like this recently too... just used the stems that I would normally just chuck! So easy and healthy :-)
