Best Broccoli And Potato Soup Recipes

POTATO, BROCCOLI, AND CHEDDAR SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add shallots, half of garlic, broccoli stems, potatoes, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 5 cups water; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add 3 cups broccoli florets; cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly. Transfer to a blender with 1 cup cheese; puree until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
• Stir together remaining cheese and garlic. Place bread on one side of a rimmed baking sheet, and remaining broccoli florets on other. Drizzle both with oil; season with salt and pepper. Top bread with cheese mixture. Roast 15 minutes, tossing florets halfway through. Serve soup topped with toasts, florets, and zest.

BROCCOLI, LEEK, AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Stir the bacon and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until the bacon has turned golden brown and released its grease, about 7 minutes. Add the butter, leeks, onion, and celery. Cook and stir until the leeks have softened, about 7 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken stock, potatoes, herbes de Provence, coriander, fennel, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are just beginning to turn tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the broccoli, and simmer 5 minutes. Add the milk, and continue simmering until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes more.
• Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper; sprinkle with chopped green onions to serve.

• Cook on low until soft my guess is 6-8 hours then use an immersion blender to cream everything.
• add in cheeses and blend again, or let melt and stir.
• This is a nice hearty soup for the cold snap we are having. It needed a bit more flavor so I added the tony's at the end. Adding bits of ham at the beginning might work for that as well.

Cook broccoli without moving it for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until dark brown on 1 side only (leave the other side bright green). Transfer to a big bowl and repeat with remaining broccoli and more oil. When all the broccoli has been browned, season with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside.

Remove from the heat, and let cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
• Meanwhile, cut the reserved broccoli florets in half, lengthwise. Put in a small microwave-safe bowl, toss with a splash of water and a pinch of salt, cover and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.

Remove the bouquet garni. Blend the soup either with a hand blender, in batches in a blender (cover the top with a towel and hold it down to avoid hot splashes), or through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. For a silky texture, strain through a medium strainer set over a bowl, using a pestle or the bottom of a ladle to push the soup through. Return to the pot, taste and adjust salt, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and heat through. Lightly toast the bread and rub with a cut clove of garlic. Top each slice with a spoonful of Parmesan and heat through in a toaster oven or under a broiler, being careful to watch closely, until the cheese melts.

SARASOTA'S BROCCOLI, ZUCCHINI AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• The Start -- In a large pot, add the olive oil and heat to medium. Add the onion, garlic and leeks and cook until slightly soft, just 3-4 minutes.
• Veggies -- Add the potatoes, zucchini and broccoli and cook just 1-2 minutes and then add the broth. Add the bay leaf and cook until the vegetables are soft. About 20 minutes. Don't forget to keep that cup of broccoli and potato to finish off the soup.
• Puree -- Now I like to use my immersion blender, but you can also use a regular blender. You want to blend the soup until the mix is well pureed. Mix until you get a creamy and a smooth texture.
• NOTE: Remove the bay leaf before you puree.
• Add the remaining broccoli and potatoes and cook another 10 minutes until they get soft.
• Finishing -- Once the final broccoli and potatoes are soft add the herbs, and any seasoning like the salt and pepper along with the cheese and just heat up. This isn't a thick chowder but a nice creamy soup. It is really good and light with tons of flavor.
• NOTE: If you like it thicker, you can mix a little corn starch with some water to make a slurry and then add to the soup (just 1 tablespoon of each) and bring the soup to medium boil and it will thicken. For me -- I don't think it needs any thickening. But you can add that if you want.
• My touch -- I love to serve this with a tomato I just roasted in the oven topped with olive oil and bread crumbs. Simply on a piece of foil. 10 minutes as the soup was finishing up. It is just the perfect finish. I used just a light drizzle of olive oil and then dredged in Italian dried bread crumbs. Roast at 425F for 10 minutes is all.
• Drizzle a little olive oil as a garnish.
