Broccoli Soup for Dieters image

This is not a Broccoli Cheese Soup, or a Cream of Broccoli soup...this is just vegetables. It does have a starch in it, so if you are in a diet that eliminates starches, now you know! Low fat, and very healthy. I like broccoli, celery, and basil, so I like this! Plus it is sooo healthy!

Provided by Jessie A.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Cream Soup Recipes     Cream of Broccoli Soup

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons butter, divided
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
8 cups broccoli florets
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium sized stock pot, and saute onion and celery until tender. Add broccoli and broth, cover and simmer for 10 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Clean the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into florets and rinse them thoroughly under running water.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so make sure to use a good quality broth. You can use homemade vegetable broth or a store-bought broth that is low in sodium.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of crunch. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten the flavor.

Conclusion:

Broccoli soup is a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It is also a great way to use up leftover broccoli. This soup is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is also a great soup to make ahead of time and freeze for later. So next time you are looking for a healthy and tasty soup, give this broccoli soup a try.
