Hello Everyone

The following recipe is for Cream of Broccoli Soup. It is soooooooo yummy.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome Cream of Broccoli Soup Recipe

Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons Margarine or Butter
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
3 cups Chicken broth
8 cups broccoli florets
3 Tablespoons Margarine or Butter (yes, more than listed above)
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 Cups whole milk (believe me it's worth using whole milk as opposed to skim or 2% milk)
ground black pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Melt 2 Tablespoons butter (or margarine) in medium sized stock pot, and saute onion and celery until tender.

2. Add broccoli and broth, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Puree soup and return to heat. (If you puree in a blender, be careful as hot and steaming things in blender can cause the lid of the blender to blow off and spew contents all over the place.)

3. In small saucepan, over medium-heat melt 3 Tablespoons butter (or margarine), stir in flour and add whole milk. Stir until thick and bubbly, and add to soup. Season with pepper and serve.

This is one of my favorite soups. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Love,
Mack

It does sound goooooood Mackie, but I'd have to sub the whole milk with the skim sorry

Susi I was thinking forget the milk use cream and add some shredded cheese.

Maybe that's why my family is all gaining weight.

Pine, you sound like my daughter We would have probably added cheese too, when she was younger. We used to add cheese and/or sour cream or plain yogurt to lots of veggies when she was little to encourage her to try every veggie. Today, she loves all vegetables -- even without cheese and/or sour cream/yogurt.

Susi, we did fix it once with skim milk and it was good, but it was yummier with the whole milk.

Also, I wanted to share this tid-bit. We also use the stalks of broccoli (chopped up) in the soup -- just requires boiling a little longer than 10 minutes, as listed in Step 2.

Hope you can try it some time, Holy Ghost Fire.

God bless you all.
Love,
Mack

Mack do you have to remove the outside of the stem? Or leave it on and cook longer?

[Mackenaw]

Pine, I usually only lightly peel the outside of the stalk -- either with a paring knife or a potato peeler. We've been taking advantage of the fresh, locally grown, brocolli so it may be fresher and a little more tender than store bought produce that has been around for longer. But, good news, we've even used frozen brocolli and it was good and yummy too.

Hope that helps.

Love,
Mack
