Cream of Broccoli Soup (serves 6)
1 cup minced onions
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup thinly sliced leek
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1-1/2 pounds broccoli
6 cups chicken stock
2 cups light cream
salt and pepper
1. Saute onions, celery, leek, and garlic over a low flame for 20 minutes.
2. Rinse and trim broccoli. Separate into 1" pieces, and cut stalks into 1" slices. Add to saute mixture.
3. Add chicken stock. Bring to a boil over med high flame. Simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Puree mixture in food processor.
5. Add cream, bring to a simmer.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
I just skip step 5 and really like it. I've also made it with peas - both with and without the cream and loved that too. I think it's the leeks that make it taste so yummy.
