Broccoli Soup

<<

Broccoli Soup is a healthy soup recipe that can be made at Passover or any time of the year. This savoury and nutritional soup is adapted from a recipe appearing on www.aish.com - excerpts are published from the excellent Passover cookbook by Tamar Ansh entitled A Taste of Tradition: Pesach - Anything's Possible!: Over 350 non-gebrochts, gluten-free & wheat-free recipes. I urge you to check out this fabulous cookbook for creative and practical Passover recipes. The appetizing dishes in this cookbook are useful all year round.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp. butter (dairy), pareve margarine or olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 3 scallions, diced
  • 1 potato, peeled and chopped
  • 1 large head fresh broccoli or 1 bag Bodek frozen broccoli
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 2 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. dried parsley
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 cup pareve milk, optional
  • 10 broccoli florets, reserved for garnish
In a medium stockpot, heat the butter, margarine or oil over a medium flame. Add the onion and peppers and saute until the vegetables are golden brown. Add the scallions, potato, broccoli, pepper, salt, and parsley. Add the water and bring to a boil; then lower the heat and simmer the soup for 35 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. Puree soup in a blender for a minute to make it thick and chunky, or completely puree it for a smoother texture. For a creamier consistency, add pareve milk. Serve hot with the reserved florets as a garnish.

To make a dairy soup recipe, use butter and substitute milk for pareve milk. If desired, sprinkle grated cheese on top of florets before serving.
