A yummy cold-weather favorite - goat cheese adds an unexpected twist to this soup. I made this for my boyfriend one night when I saw him buying the canned version and knew I could do much better :-) Ingredients:
2 cups light cream |
1 cup water |
3/4 cup diced carrot |
3/4 cup diced onion |
3/4 cup diced celery |
1 1/2 cups steamed broccoli |
12 ounces shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese |
2 ounces goat cheese |
1/4 cup flour |
1 1/2 tablespoons crushed garlic |
salt |
pepper |
4 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Melt 2 tbs butter in a sauce pan.
2. Add carrot, onion & celery. Saute until soft (but not brown).
3. In a separate pan, melt the other 2 tbs butter.
4. Add flour and whisk quickly.
5. Add 1 cup of cream and stir.
6. Pour the flour mixture into the sauce pan with the carrot, onion & celery.
7. Add the rest of the cream, the water & the garlic.
8. Add the cheddar cheese.
9. Add the goat cheese.
10. Add the broccoli.
11. Stir thoroughly.
