CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP

Steps:

• Cut off the broccoli stems, then cut the stems into 1-inch-thick slices. Separate the florets into small pieces. Reserve the stems and florets separately.
• Heat a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high and add the olive oil. Stir in the onion, carrot, tomato, sweet potato and the broccoli stems, spread in an even layer and season generously with salt and pepper. Let the vegetables on the bottom sear without stirring until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the garlic powder and stir with a wooden spoon to hydrate the spice in the fat and continue cooking for another minute or so. The tomato will start to break down and get jammy.
• Add the coconut water, raise the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Cover, lower the heat to keep the soup at a gentle boil and continue cooking until all of the vegetables are mostly softened and the stock is imbued with savory flavor, about 10 minutes. For a creamier texture, remove the broccoli stems to snack on or discard; for more broccoli flavor (and roughage), leave the stems in.
• Stir in the broccoli florets and tofu, raise the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Cover and cook until a paring knife easily cuts the stem part of a broccoli floret, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Carefully ladle the contents of the pot into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed, then add more coconut water or water to thin out the soup to your desired thickness.
• Serve hot in shallow bowls, each serving dolloped with a spoonful of fridge-cold ricotta, if using, and lightly drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkled with herbs, if desired.

THE EASIEST BROCCOLI SOUP IN THE WORLD!!!

Steps:

• Wash thoroughly the broccoli. You will need 600G so remove the stems and just use the heads.
• Chop the onion.
• In a saucepan cook the broccoli and onion together with the stock cube and the water for 15 minutes Keep the lid on whilst you do this. (you can get this cooking time down to 10 mins if you chop the broccoli quite small).
• When the broccoli and onion are very tender add the low fat milk.
• Then blend the soup thoroughly using a blender. I sometimes do this immediately but, from a safety point of view, its probably best to let the soup cool then re-heat.
• You will be surprized how creamy this soup is, even using only low fat milk, check seasoning and serve.
• Serve the soup however you like -- we like it with toasted almonds on top, it is also good with grated cheese piled on the top. Another good combination is a large teaspoon of cream cheese dropped into the centre and some chives. Last time I served it to guests I sprinkled stilton cheese and croutons over the hot soup and it was enjoyed by all.
• However you serve it, for extremely basic ingredients, it makes a tasty affordable soup.
