Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon butter
4 leeks, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
2 heads fresh broccoli, chopped
1 (32 ounce) carton low-sodium chicken broth
1 (12 fluid ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot, and cook the leeks over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, and coriander. Reserve about 1/4 cup of small broccoli florets, and cook the rest of the broccoli with the leeks until the broccoli is bright green, about 5 more minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, bring the soup to a boil, cover, then simmer until the broccoli is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  • Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the reserved broccoli florets, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often. Simmer until the broccoli florets are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, and mix in the condensed milk. Serve hot.

CHEF JOHN'S MULLIGATAWNY SOUP



Chef John's Mulligatawny Soup image

I'm showing you my take on what is considered one of the world's greatest soups. Which was invented, I hear, because British soldiers in India weren't able to start a meal without soup. This is incredibly hearty, savory, and comforting, and something that should be on every soup lover's bucket list. Serve with naan.

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 ¼ cups boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground mustard
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup cubed Yukon Gold potatoes
½ cup seeded and diced tomato
2 small Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and diced
½ cup dry red lentils
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon tamarind paste
6 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons coconut cream
½ cup plain Greek yogurt, or to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
¼ cup sliced green onion, or to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter and oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and season with salt; let brown for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and brown on opposite side, 4 to 5 minutes more.
  • While chicken browns, combine curry powder, garam masala, cumin, black pepper, ground mustard, coriander, and cayenne in a small bowl.
  • Remove browned chicken from the pot and transfer to a plate to cool enough to handle; roughly chop or shred.
  • While chicken cools, reduce heat to medium and add spice blend to pot; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add garlic and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until onions turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and continue to cook for 3 minutes more. Stir in potatoes, tomatoes, and apples. Add red lentils, bay leaf, and tamarind paste.
  • Pour in chicken broth, stir, and raise heat to high; add coconut cream. Bring to a simmer. Stir and reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes.

Time 1h

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh broccoli florets for the best flavor and texture. If you only have frozen broccoli, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the broccoli, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the broccoli from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is an important part of the soup, so use a good quality broth that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and bland.
  • Season to taste: Don't forget to season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve immediately: Cream of broccoli soup is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cream of broccoli soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a healthy and affordable meal that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give cream of broccoli soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
