The broccoli is added to this classic potato soup towards the end of the cooking time, so that it maintains its bright color and sweet flavor. The soup will have a silkier texture if you take the time to strain it after pureeing.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, one pot, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced and cleaned (optional)
3 garlic cloves, chopped, plus 1 small clove, cut in half
Salt, preferably kosher salt, to taste
2 pounds starchy potatoes (russets or Yukon golds), peeled and cut in large dice
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf and 2 sprigs each parsley and thyme
2 quarts water, chicken stock, or vegetable stock
1 pound broccoli crowns, coarsely chopped
Freshly ground pepper to taste
12 thin slices baguette or country bread
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat and add the onion and optional leeks. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the chopped garlic and cook, stirring, for another minute, until fragrant. Add the potatoes, bouquet garni, water, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Add the broccoli, turn the heat up slightly to bring back to a boil, then reduce the heat again and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, until the broccoli is thoroughly tender but still bright. Remove the bouquet garni.
  • Blend the soup either with a hand blender, in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. For a silky texture, strain through a medium strainer set over a bowl, using a pestle or the bottom of a ladle to push the soup through. Return to the pot, taste and adjust salt, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and heat through.
  • Lightly toast the bread and rub with a cut clove of garlic. Top each slice with a spoonful of Parmesan and heat through in a toaster oven or under a broiler, being careful to watch closely, until the cheese melts. Serve the soup, topping each bowl with 2 croutons.

BROCCOLI, LEEK, AND POTATO SOUP



Broccoli, Leek, and Potato Soup image

There will be no kissing after this eating this soup, but with its creamy delightful taste you will not mind.

Provided by Seeshell

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Cream Soup Recipes     Potato Leek Soup Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 slices bacon, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 large leeks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 cups chicken stock
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups broccoli florets
2 ½ cups whole milk
3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Stir the bacon and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until the bacon has turned golden brown and released its grease, about 7 minutes. Add the butter, leeks, onion, and celery. Cook and stir until the leeks have softened, about 7 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken stock, potatoes, herbes de Provence, coriander, fennel, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are just beginning to turn tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the broccoli, and simmer 5 minutes. Add the milk, and continue simmering until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes more.
  • 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. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper; sprinkle with chopped green onions to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamy soup. Waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or New Potatoes will hold their shape better but may result in a less creamy soup.
  • Roast the broccoli and potatoes separately: This step brings out their natural flavors and gives the soup a more complex taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the vegetables: In order to get a good sear, make sure there is enough space between the pieces of vegetables in the pan.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Vegetable broth is a good option, but you can also use chicken broth or beef broth for a richer flavor.
  • Simmer the soup until the vegetables are tender: This usually takes about 30 minutes, but may take longer depending on the size and type of vegetables you are using.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.

Conclusion:

This seared broccoli and potato soup is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The roasted vegetables give the soup a deep flavor, and the creamy broth is both comforting and satisfying. This soup is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for a weeknight meal. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious soup, give this recipe a try!
