BROCCOLI, HAM, AND SWEET POTATO SOUP



Broccoli, Ham, and Sweet Potato Soup image

There's nothing like a hearty soup to warm you up on a chilly day! When I was a teenager, I worked at a restaurant that had a ham and broccoli soup in their "soup of the day" rotation. This is my twist on that recipe!

CREAM OF BROCCOLI, SWEET POTATO, AND ZUCCHINI SOUP



Cream of Broccoli, Sweet Potato, and Zucchini Soup image

This is a lovely creamed soup, thick with veggies and flavor. It is something to serve company with a loaf of homemade bread and a salad. A country inn near us serves a soup similar to this, and has for years attracted people with it. This is the closest to it that I can get. Sometimes I think that this is better. I think the unique flavor is the cumin. It is delicious.

Time 1h15m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup chopped onion
1 small head of broccoli (separated)
1 sweet potato (chopped)
1 medium zucchini (diced)
6 cups chicken broth
3 teaspoons Cremora
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 pinch nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon tarragon
1/2 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper
3/4 cup instant instant potato flakes
1 cup cream

Steps:

  • Note before you start; the basil, tarragon, and cumin are added to taste--keep tasing till you get it the way you want it.
  • Break up the broccoli into flowerettes and simmer alone in another pan; set aside.
  • Cover the bottom of a large pot with butter and saute onions till golden, but not brown.
  • Add the sweet potato and zucchini.
  • Stir till veggies are hot and then cover with the chicken stock.
  • Put a colander down into the pot of liquid so that the liquid is up through the holes.
  • Measure the stock because this determines how much Creamora to put in (1 teaspoon of Creamora to 1 cup of liquid) and with a whisk, whisk in the Cremora.
  • Add the celery seed, nutmeg, basil, tarragon, cumin, salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Add the Potato Buds to the colander whisking all the time till it is thick.
  • Then gently take out the colaner and stir. You can use more or less depending on the thickness that you like.
  • Add the cream for extra richness (or a small can of evaporated milk would also do).
  • Then add the broccoli using as much as you like.
  • Do not boil this soup.
