• TIP:
• LOOKS LIKE BROCCOLI.... BROCCOLI RABE
• Trim off the bottom, tough stems of the broccoli rabe, wash well. Slice stems into 1/2-inch pieces and saute with whole peeled garlic cloves in olive oil. After 5 minutes add florets, saute until slightly tender, add a pinch of Italian red pepper and serve over pasta

KRISTI'S GF SUPER TERRIFIC BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• Mix cider, chicken broth, milk and garlic in a LARGE POT (I used a 10 qt pot) and slowly bring to a simmer. Put onions, mushrooms, green onion and jalapeno into the pot. Simmer about 10 minutes so flavors have time to blend.
• While you're simmering, get a pan big enough to hold all your broccoli. Put water in it and bring it to a boil. Once you have a good boil going, put all the broccoli in and cook for 2 minutes. DO NOT OVER COOK! Broccoli will go grey really fast, you're just looking to get a bright green, which should happen almost instantly. If it's not all bright green, don't fret, it will be ok.
• In a large coffee mug or bowl, mix the cornstarch and the water until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. I like to use a coffee mug and a fork, but whatever works is okee dokee.
• Once your soup has simmered a bit, go ahead and add the cornstarch and bring it to a full boil while stirring. This will make it loads easier to thicken than if you wait until later. :) Stir until you've reached something just shy of your desired consistency (the cheese will add some thickening power, too). Drop the heat back to a slow simmer and add the broccoli.
• With the lowest heat you can (and the soup still simmers, that is!), add the cheese, slowly, no more than a handful at a time and stir until it melts. Word has it that a figure 8 is the best way to stir in cheese, but I didn't try it when I made this soup, so I don't know. Be patient and work in the cheese until there isn't anymore.
• With your cheese melted, season to taste. You'll probably want some black pepper and salt, paprika is good, mustard would be nice with this, too. I leave that up to you.
• If/when rewarming, make sure you do it on the stovetop over med-low heat. Cornstarch thickened anything doesn't like to reheat in the microwave very well. I'm not really sure why, but that's the way it is. :).
