broccoli soup/immersion blender

[Guest guest]

I made this tonight for the first time in a while. Now I understand why

ya'll love your immersion blenders. It was the maiden voyage of mine. Even DH

likes it and he usually gets peeved when I spend more money on kitchen stuff

(says we have enough, and we do, but....)

 

Broccoli Soup

2 bags frozen broccoli ( I usually use fresh)

32 ounces water

1 chopped onion

1 T butter

1/2 tsp salt

8 oz shredded chedder cheese

2 packages tofu, firm

2 C milk

2Tbsp flour

1 tsp pepper

3 Tbsp soup base (usually I use Miso, but the regular stuff works fine too.

Or Boullion. )

 

 

Sautee the onion until translucent. Add broccoli to a BIG pot. add water to

completely cover the broccoli. Add soup base. Simmer until broccoli is soft.

Use a slotted spoon, spoon out broccoli and onion and puree in food

processor. Leave some for chunks in soup. Puree tofu and add to pot. Return to

stove,

add cheese & milk and heat until cheese melts. Make the flour into a roux

and add. Raise until soup thickens some SLOWLY add milk ( be sure soup is not

boiling)
