Our Tested-Till-Perfect Broccoli Soup is lusciously thick and rich – without the addition of tons of butter or cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped (1 oz/375 g)
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 3 cups frozen broccoli pieces
  • 1 can (385 mL) evaporated skim milk
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or green onions

Preparation

In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook onions and potatoes, stirring often, until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Add stock, salt and pepper; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add broccoli pieces; cover and cook for 5 minutes.

In food processor or blender, puree soup until smooth. Return to pan; stir in evaporated milk and heat through. Serve sprinkled with chives.
