"Cream" of Broccoli Soup
this recipe has been floating around my house since i was a kid. always a go-to winner and perfect for a fall/winter night when it's cold and broccoli is in season. i've altered it a bit to make it a bit more waist friendly.
1 lg head of organic broccoli, chopped into pieces
1/2 white onion
3 c. vegetable stock (i prefer to use better than bouillon if i don't have homemade)
1 t. curry powder
1/2 t. fresh ground pepper
1/4 t. mustard powder
1/2 c. milk (whole, low-fat....just no non-fat)
1T. flour
1 T. butter
lemon wedges
-in a large saucepan, cook the broccoli, onion and vegetable stock until broccoli is fork tender.
-removed from heat and blend with a hand held blender (LOVE mine) or in your classic blender. *be careful since contents are hot. do not over fill your blender as hot liquid will blow out)
-return contents to saucepan and add spices and butter. bring back to a simmer
-in a small jar with a lid (or a bowl with a fork) mix the milk and flour well.
-add milk/flour mixture and cook on low for about another 5 min, stirring often.
wa-la! serve with a squeeze of lemon and you have yourself a fine meal.
