GREEN AND SPICY BROCCOLI SOUP or farmer’s cheese Sliced green onions Prep: 15 minutes Cook: 10 minutes Makes: 6 cups, 4 servings 1. Separate broccoli fl orets from the stems. Cut fl orets into bite-size pieces. You should have 4 very full cups. Slice the stems very thinly. You’ll have about 2 cups. 2. Heat 6 cups water or broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Add broccoli stems and seasoning blend. Cook uncovered, 2 minutes. Stir in broccoli fl orets. Continue cooking, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is fork-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat. Scoop out and set aside about 1 cup of the cooking liquid — you’ll use this for reheating. 3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer about two-thirds of the broccoli to a blender. (You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your blender.) Add a couple ladles full of the cooking liquid remaining in the pan to the blender. Cover with blender If desired, replace water with 6 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth for a richer soup. Toasted pistachio or walnut oil tastes great here in place of olive oil or cream. 3 broccoli crowns, about 1 pound total, OR 6 cups small broccoli fl orets (12 to 14 ounces) 6 cups water OR low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth 1/2 to 1 teaspoon spicy Cajun or Creole seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere’s Original Creole seasoning blend) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil OR heavy whipping cream Crumbled cheese, such as mild goat cheese, feta lid and then place a towel over the lid to prevent hot liquid from splashing about. Puree smooth. Return puree to the saucepan with the remaining broccoli and cooking liquid. 4. Reheat soup to a gentle simmer. Add enough of the reserved cooking liquid to give the soup a light cream consis- tency. Season to taste with salt if needed. Serve in deep bowls or mugs drizzled with oil or cream. Garnish with cheese and onions. Note: You can use an immer- sion blender to nearly puree soup. Be sure to leave some pieces of broccoli visible.
