Dream of Broccoli Soup image

From the November 2004 issue of First magazine. I like the added touch of the "hearts" with each serving.

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups fresh broccoli or 3 cups fresh Broccolini, chopped
4 cups fresh chicken stock, divided
1 cup buttermilk, divided
3 ounces goat cheese, divided (chevre is a good choice)
1 fresh bay leaf, bruised
1 dash freshly grated nutmeg
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • In a stock pot, cook the onions over medium heat in the butter for about 8 minutes. Add broccoli and half the stock; bring to almost a boil.
  • Using hand held immersion blender, puree the broccoli mixture until smooth.
  • Stir in the remaining broth, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 2 ounces of the goat cheese, bay leaf and nutmeg. Heat for 5 minutes but do not boil.
  • Adjust seasoning and add salt and pepper.
  • In a plastic bag combine the remaining buttermilk and cheese. Mix together. Snip the corner of the plastic bag.
  • Pipe dots on top of the soup, dragging a toothpick through the dots to form "hearts".
  • Serve warm.
