Tried to make broccoli soup with some woody old broccoli. It's rather bitter. What would you add?

[HuffySpice]

So far it has
Garlic
Ginger
Lots of spices
The broccoli
Stock

It has been simmering for 30 - 40 minutes.

It's quite tasty but a bit bitter. I've not blitzed it in the food processor.

Cream?
Coconut milk?
Tomato?

What would you add?

[Greensleeves]

splash of cream probably

and have you got any cheese?

[Greensleeves]

OR some cauliflower, that would mellow it down a bit

[campergirls]

def not cheese given the ginger and spices, yuck. A potato would help (better for the texture than just broc too). A courgette or two?

[HuffySpice]

Hummm. I added a tin of coconut milk. It helped. The broccoli was just bitter, I think. Poo. Am reluctant to throw more ingredients at it if it's going to end up yucky soup whatever I do.

Potato not a bad thought.
