Does anyone have a good "broccolli soup" recipe?
#1
I am needing a recipe for broccolli soup. We love it but the last time I found a package and all I had to do was add the broccolli. It was ok but I want to make one myself, a good one so I can impress my boyfriend. Thx in advance if anybody has one. Lura

Chop up a head of broccoli, 1 med. potato, 1/2 onion and a couple of carrots, and boil them in a quart of chicken broth-you can add water if you need to. Homemade chicken broth is the best. I make my own with chicken backs-they are cheap. When veggies are cooked, drain them, keep the broth! Put them in a food processor and then return to the pan with just enough broth to make it thick. Add salt to taste and enough half and half to thin a little. You can also add grated cheese.

I make mine in a crock pot....but you have to be careful not to over cook.
Head of broccoli
crumbled bacon
Chicken stock
rice
cream
mushrooms
velveeta
onion
I put the broccoli, mushrooms, onions, chicken stock and bacon in the crockpot until veggies are tender.
Then I add the rest of the ingredients until the rice is cooked all the way through and the cheese is melted. It is thick kind of like a chowder and we love it!

Here's my recipe - or thereabouts! I rarely make it exactly the same, but this is the basic recipe my family prefers. Forgive the note; I am saving recipes for my daughter, and the notes are to her. Ignore the potato soup recipe at the top.

3 heads broccoli
1teas.minced garlic
2 cans chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped onion big chunk butter
4 cups milk
1 1/2 velveeta cheese
cook broccoli,onion in chicken broth until tender, place in blender with cheese&garlic. blend smooth(to suit).pour in pan,add milk, season and heat. When I blend, I do it in a couple batches, the hot broth will melt cheese . You can use half&half for milk, add some butter, and even use instant potatoes to thicken if you like a thicker soup.

Saute: 2 Tbs. butter and 3/4 cup chopped onion
Add: 6 cup chicken broth, heat to boil
Add: 8 oz. narrow noodles (excellent w/spinach noodles)
1 Tbs. salt and dash of pepper
Add: 2 10 oz. pkgs. frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
Cook all for 3 min.(If using wider noodles, cook for 6 min.)
Add: 1 clove garlic, crushed
Add: 6 cups milk and 1 lb. Velveeta, cut up small
Heat 4 min to melt cheese. DO NOT BOIL.
(Note from Sharon: Soup to die for, I always use Spinach Noodles)
