broccoli soup
ingredients
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup medium-diced onions
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots (peel, halve or quarter lengthwise, then slice crosswise
2 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
Kosher salt
5 cups vegetable broth, preferably homemade
3 Tbs. dry sherry
1 tsp. ground coriander
1-3/4 lb. broccoli, bottom of stems trimmed, florets coarsely chopped, stems sliced very thinly
1/4 cup heavy cream
freshly ground black pepper
1-1/2 tsp. white wine vinegar
1/3 cup crumbled cooked pancetta

Steps:

  • instructions In a 4- to 5-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. When hot, add the onions, carrots, garlic, shallots and a pinch of kosher salt. Add the broccoli, vegetable broth, and sherry, stir well, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very tender and the soup is full-flavored, 7 to 20 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and let the soup cool for 5 minutes. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender (fill the jar no more than half full and vent the lid, topping it with a folded kitchen towel to prevent hot splashes). Wipe the pan clean and put the soup back into the pan. Add the cream and 1/2 tsp. of the vinegar. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings with more salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed. Ladle into 8 soup bowls and garnish each serving with 2 tsp. crumbled pancetta.
