Spicy Broccoli Soup image

I love broccoli soup and so many have a lot of cheese. While cheese does make a delicious soup it also adds a lot of calories. This one is pretty bare-bones, in the extra calorie department, unless you add the garnishes at the end. Plus you can give it as much of a kick as you like. I like to use water and bouillon for the broth part.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound(s) broccoli crowns (abs. 6 cups small florets)
6 cup(s) water or chicken or veg. broth (or water with bouillon)
1/2 - 1 teaspoon(s) spicy cajun or creole seasoning
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoon(s) evvo or heavy cream for garnish
1/4 cup(s) crumbled cheese - feta, farmers, etc - for garnish
2 green onions, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Separate florets from stems and slice the stems thinly.
  • Heat water or broth and add sliced stems and seasoning. Cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Add florets and cook until fork tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is nearly smooth, but make sure to leave some chunks of broccoli. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
  • To serve, have EVVO, cream, crumbled cheese and sliced onions available to be drizzled over soup. Use none, some or all!
