We had a cool spell last week. It actually rained. Back to hot weather again this week. Well, I took advantage of the cool weather last week and made soup a couple of times. One of them is my oldest sons favorite and he asks all the time for it. I don't know why I don't make it more often for him (except it is very rich) but, here it is:
Cream of Broccoli Soup
6 cups of milk ( I used whole)
1/2 cup of heavy cream
One big bunch of Broccoli
Salt and pepper to taste
3 TBL butter
3 TBL flour
- First steam the broccoli.
- Take out the broccoli and pull out a few nice looking pieces. The rest of the broccoli, cut up into small pieces. Then mash them with a potato masher. Pulverize it pretty good.
- After it is steamed I lifted out the steamer and put the flour and butter in the bottom of the pan and made a roue. (Just stir until thick but, don't let it burn).
- Then poured the milk in and the cream. I turned down the heat to medium, and cooked until it started to thicken.
- Now add both the pulverized and the nice pieces of broccoli to the milk.
- Continue stirring until it becomes thick. Do not let it boil.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
That is it. Not too hard and quite fattening. It really is good. Everyone at it here. Even the little ones.
Hope you like it too.
