Super-Simple Broccoli Soup
Yesterday at Dad's house in Oklahoma City, I was watching an episode of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America. Gordon had asked the chef of the failing restaurant to make a soup using as many or as few as ingredients as he wanted. The chef made a broccoli soup with fourteen ingredients including expensive oil and cream. Gordon then showed him how to make a much simpler and way less expensive broccoli soup.
Tonight, I decided to try Ramsay's simple broccoli soup for myself. I cut the florets off of a head of broccoli and boiled them in just enough salted water to cover them for about five minutes. Next, I put the broccoli and maybe about a cup of the cooking water into the blender and ran it on high until the puree was silky smooth. Finally, I poured it into a bowl and nommed. It was delicious.
Folks, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It's almost as easy as boiling water, and the results are simple, delicious, and nourishing.
