It's still cold out and I still like soup. During my weekly refrigerator dump, I came across 4 broccoli crowns that had been forgotten and needed some fast moving attention. Well it worked for cauliflower so why not make cream of broccoli soup the same way! Its the simplest recipe ever and comes out thick but light and delicious. Other than water, there are only 2 ingredients. Here's the recipe. Hope you try it!
Prep time: 5 min
Cooking time: 20 min
Total time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of aquafaba
4 broccoli crowns
Put a steamer tray in a pot. Break up the broccoli crowns into florets and put them into the pot with 1 cup of water. Steam them for 20 minutes or until very, very tender. Put the hot water and the cooked broccoli into your blender. Add the 1/2 cup of aquafaba and blend it on high for 5 minutes.
Serve hot!
I added some dried basil after it was in the bowl. You can add whichever spice you like or nothing at all. It's delicious and loaded with fiber and protein. Per calorie, broccoli is an excellent source of protein with no saturated fat and no hormones. Eat all you want!
