CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP



Cream of Broccoli Soup image

This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 pound broccoli, cut into florets, stems peeled and chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes.
  • Add flour and cook, stirring, until combined, 1 minute.
  • Whisking constantly, add broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes.
  • Add broccoli and bring to a simmer. Cook until broccoli is very tender, 20 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl. In batches, fill a blender halfway with mixture and puree until smooth; to allow heat to escape, remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid with a dish towel, and hold down firmly while blending. Return soup to pot as pureed.
  • Add cream and heat over medium until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with broth or water, if desired.

KK'S CREAM OF CRAB SOUP



Kk's Cream of Crab Soup image

As a Maryland native growing up, crab was always plentiful, available and fresh - usually caught that day. Today I buy fresh lump or jumbo lump crab for this soup, depending on the audience. Using a lesser grade of crab won't give you the premium results you are probably seeking.

Provided by KK7707

Categories     Crab

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb backfin crab meat
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons onions, chopped very fine
1/3 cup flour
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth (don't use a heavy stock)
1/2 cup dry sherry (very dry sherry should be pale yellow in color)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
8 -9 dashes Tabasco sauce
8 -9 dashes of a less vinegary hot sauce (such as Texas Pete's or Frank's)
1 pinch cayenne (just a very light shake!)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon tomato paste (use concentrated, it comes in a tube)

Steps:

  • Gently remove cartilage from crab meat.
  • Melt butter in a 2-3 quart sauce pan.
  • Add the onion and cook 3-4 minutes - until translucent.
  • Blend in flour and cook as a roux on medium-low heat until the flour-butter mixture "loosens", which indicates the flour is cooked (about 5 minutes).
  • Off the heat, stir in chicken broth and sherry, return to the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Add salt, pepper, milk and cream, then stir in Tabasco, cayenne and sugar.
  • Use a little of the liquid to thin the tomato paste and stir it back into the soup.
  • Cook on med-low heat until thickened, but do not let it boil.
  • Taste it, and when the cream base is cooked and seasoned to your liking, add the crab.
  • Heat gently another 5 minutes and serve.
  • Serving suggestion: make a lightly sweetened whipped cream to dollop on top and serve with a small pitcher of the sherry to add at the table.
  • A small amount of fresh chopped parsley around the edge of a soup plate is attractive, but don't use too much because you don't want to affect the flavor of the soup.
