WHITE HOUSE BROCCOLI SOUP
This is made at the White House by Chef Cristeta Comerford. I haven't made this yet, but have been looking for a broccoli soup that's yummy but healthy too. I have added the option of adding just a little cream if you like. Enjoy! The soup is a little thin, so I removed one of the cups of stock. Add it if you like it on the thin side.

Steps:
- In a medium-size saucepan, over medium heat, add the garlic, shallots, leeks, onion and thyme. Sweat in the butter until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli stem slices and saute until softened.
- Pour in the chicken stock and bay leaf and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, blanch the broccoli tips in a pot of boiling water over medium heat until bright green. Remove the tips from the water and "shock" in a bowl of iced water.
- Drain the green tips and puree in a blender. Set aside.
- Puree the soup in a blender and strain through a fine chinoise into a large serving bowl. At this point, if you really want to, you could add about 1/4 cup cream.
- Add the green tip puree and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve piping hot.

[email protected]I found this soup to be bland and lacking in flavor. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable.

[email protected]This soup was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with less cheese.
