Broccoli Cheese White Bean Soup Recipes

CREAMY HOMEMADE WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• To begin making this white bean soup, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Cut the florets off of the broccoli stalks and place on a baking sheet along with 4 cloves of peeled garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, toss to make sure everything is coated, and roast for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel the broccoli stems. Cut the stems into small pieces. Peel and mince the shallots. Place the chopped broccoli stalks and shallots into a large saucepan, along with one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently for about three minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
• Add the chicken stock and beans, cover and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low, cover, and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
• Add the roasted broccoli and garlic to the soup. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture to your desired consistency. (I like to leave small chunks of broccoli and beans.)
• Add cream and taste. Add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper if necessary. Serve immediately.

• Remove 2 cups of the broccoli florets, cut in half, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet cut-side down and bake until the florets begin to crisp and turn slightly brown.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on top. Stir to combine and cook until the flour is absorbed and smells lightly toasted, 1 minute or so. Add the milk and half-and-half. Add the nutmeg, then the broccoli, a small dash of salt and plenty of black pepper. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the broccoli is tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the cheese and allow to melt.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the soup as is, mash with a potato masher to break up the broccoli a bit, or transfer to a blender in two batches and puree completely. (If you puree in a blender, return the soup to the heat to heat back up. Splash in some chicken broth if needed for thinning.) Garnish with the toasted broccoli or grated cheese and serve.
