BROCCOLI/CARROT SOUP



Broccoli/Carrot Soup image

Have always loved raw broccoli and disliked it cooked. Some time ago my digestive system screamed, "no more raw", so I came up with this recipe. Now the scream is "more,more"! Do not be dismayed by length of instructions...really very easy.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb fresh broccoli
2 large raw carrots
1/2-1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
16 ounces low sodium vegetable broth (I use homemade vegetable) or 16 ounces chicken broth (I use homemade vegetable)
1 cup half-and-half (use the real thing)
2 cups 2% low-fat milk or 2 cups skim milk
1 cup filtered water
1 medium light-skinned potato
1/4-1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (I use 1/2)
1/2-1 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
5 -6 of roasted garlic cloves (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare broccoli using peeled stalks.
  • Cut into small pieces.
  • Peel& cut carrots into small coin-size pieces.
  • Steam both vegetables until fork tender.
  • Place steamed vegetables into blender.
  • Add 1/2 warmed broth.
  • Liquefy, being careful not to overflow.
  • Remove to large pot with lid.
  • Add remaining broth,half& half,milk,hot sauce,cheese,and salt to blender.
  • Liquefy.
  • Add to soup in pot.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Peel& dice potato.
  • Place with filtered water in saucepan.
  • Bring to boil, turn down to simmer until fork tender.
  • Do not overcook.
  • Strain, saving potato water.
  • Set potatoes aside.
  • Add potato water to thicken soup, if desired.
  • Blend well and reheat.
  • Serve hot with potatoes.
  • Add pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli and carrots: For the best flavor, select broccoli with tightly closed florets and deep green color. Carrots should be firm and smooth, with no signs of blemishes or bruises.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked broccoli and carrots will lose their vibrant color and nutrients. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes for the broccoli and 10-12 minutes for the carrots.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real vegetables.
  • Add some spices and herbs: To enhance the flavor of the soup, add some spices and herbs such as garlic, onion, thyme, or rosemary. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: A dollop of sour cream or yogurt will add a creamy richness to the soup. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Broccoli carrot soup is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's packed with vegetables and nutrients, and it's also very affordable. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give broccoli carrot soup a try.
