Creamy Broccoli Soup
Serves 6 People
Equipment:
Large pot
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons olive oil
4 shallots, peeled and sliced
1 ½ lbs. broccoli florets, chopped
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
12 ounces mascarpone cheese
Salt and pepper, if desired
Directions:
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, then add the shallots and cook 3-4 minutes. Add broccoli and salt and pepper to taste. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10-15 minutes (until broccoli is tender).
Cool 5 minutes, then add in small batches to blender and blend until smooth. (If you don’t have a blender, you can use a potato masher to break up the broccoli, though the soup won’t be as smooth. Finally, add mascarpone cheese, mix, and enjoy!
