Since our son is a broccoli grower, our friends keep supplying us with recipes using broccoli. To this family favorite, add a tossed salad, rolls, fruit and cookies, and you have an easy but delicious supper full of nutrition. Ingredients:
1 cup sliced leeks (white part only) |
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |
1 cup fresh broccoli florets |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 bay leaf |
2 cans (10-1/2 ounces each) condensed chicken broth, undiluted |
1 cup half-and-half cream |
3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese |
1 package (6 ounces) frozen crabmeat, thawed, drained and flaked |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, cook the leeks, mushrooms, broccoli and garlic in butter until broccoli is crisp-tender. Stir in flour and seasonings until blended. Gradually add broth and cream.
2. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Add cheese; stir until melted. Add crab; heat through but do not boil. Discard bay leaf before serving. Yield: 5 servings.
