A recipe I found in my collection of cuttings from magazines. I'm posting it here for safe-keeping to try later, since I need to get rid of all these piles of papers I've collected over the last year. According to the magazine description, this is a light soup with light chicken stock. Ingredients:
800 g fresh broccoli, diced along with stem |
1 onion, diced |
20 g butter |
1 1/2 liters low-fat chicken broth |
200 ml full cream |
6 tablespoons cream, lightly whipped |
salt & pepper, to taste |
chopped toasted sliced almonds |
Directions:
1. Saute onion in butter till transparent.
2. Add broccoli, saute for two minutes.
3. Pour stock. Season.
4. Let simmer for 50 minutes without over-boiling.
5. Add cream and simmer for 10 minutes, adjust seasoning.
6. Blend with a hand blender.
7. Strain and serve hot in soup cups, topped with whipped cream and a pinch of chopped toasted almonds.
