Oats lend an interesting texture to this soup, but because they are added in such a small quantity and are puréed with the rest of the ingredients, they're impossible to detect.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 pounds broccoli, florets separated, stems peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion; cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add the nutmeg; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the chicken broth, 1 1/2 cups water, the oats, and broccoli. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat. Simmer until the broccoli is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Purée the soup in batches, filling the blender halfway (see note on page 185). Return the soup to the pot, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
