This appetizer soup has been adapted from a recipe in a Junior League cookbook. To make it more healthful, I substituted milk for cream and used less salt. The mace gives it wonderful flavor. -Jane Pekelder, Grand Rapids, MI Ingredients:
6 cups small broccoli florets |
2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
dash of ground mace |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Place half of broccoli mixture in a blender; process until smooth. Pour broccoli mixture into a bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining broccoli mixture. Return pureed mixture to pan.
2. Combine milk and flour, stirring with a whisk until well blended; add to broccoli mixture. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken, stirring frequently. Add lemon juice, butter, salt, pepper, and mace, stirring until butter melts.
