Is broccoli soup a thing?

[Tilllly]

I've a ton of broccoli
Can I make soup with it?
Is it vile?! 🤣

its a thing

its not vile. I make it with cheese.

something like this https://cookieandkate.com/broccoli-cheese-soup-recipe/

No it's amazing. Especially with Stilton. Google will give you lots of recipe ideas

Yes it's a thing. Yes it's disgusting, especially with Stilton. HTH.

Yep, half fried onion, head of brocolli, stock, boil for 20 minutes. Add pepper and tablespoon of Philadelphia, blitz till smooth.. lovely!

Broccoli and Stilton soup is very nice

Broccoli and Stilton is delicious and very easy to make.

I tried it, it was... not great, cheese couldnt save it, pepper couldnt save it, we ate it all up anyway. Gave me the worst wind too.

Yes, it's delicious especially with cheese, look on the BBC for recipes.
Also, what about broccoli curry?

🤣🤣🤣

Oooh that's an idea too

I made the most delicious broccoli and cheddar soup recently. I wouldn't attempt it with blue cheese (dh doesn't like blue cheese) but with cheddar it was gorgeous. It was blended - I remember there was some potato in the recipe and the usual onion and garlic.

Not a fan of broccoli or Stilton but was served broccoli & Stilton soup at a conference. And it was so tasty!

Broccoli and Stilton soup is hideous

I use broccoli in things like veggie curry, goes well with sweet potato!

It's delicious. But you have to like broccoli, Stilton and soup.

I’ve made a delicious Thai style broccoli soup. Sautéed shallot, garlic, ginger, lemongrass. Added green curry paste, broccoli, veg stock, coconut milk. Simmer till the broccoli is cooked. Blitz. Add lime juice to taste.

Roasted is nice. Same as you would for cauliflower, but not great if you burn it.

As soup it is foul. Steamed with butter is best.

Its delicious. Take no notice of people who say otherwise.

In retrospect, might have been the cook's error that produced a load of greeny sludge. But in no hurry to repeat that one.

It's made....

I love broccoli but can't stand it in soup (and it should be against the law to have broccoli and Stilton soup on a menu). I don't get it - how can a nice vegetable be such a hideous soup?

I love a simple broccoli soup (lots of broccoli, vegetable stock, salt and pepper whizzed until smooth) served with a slice of goat’s cheese or some feta crumbled on top.

I make a broccoli and spinach soup from frozen veg and occasionally add stilton too (or any cheese).
It's very quick and easy, esp if you keep the broccoli florets and small blocks of spinach in the freezer.
The two greens go together well. Don't add cheese if you aren't keen. A swirl of cream is good, though.

Yes but I'd definitely add potatoes and onions

Roasted broccoli is gorgeous.

Cut raw broccoli into evenly sized florets. Cut the largest florets in half across the width, if necessary.

Put some oil in a larger bowl and add some spices. My favourites are zaatar and smoked paprika, together or separate, but use whatever combos you like. Be generous. Mix well, then add the broccoli and mix until well-coated.

Spread out on a baking tray and roast until slightly browned. Takes about 20min at 180C, but you can put them in at whatever temperature you are using if you are roasting something else at the same time, just adjust how long they cook for.

Absolutely delish. Works well for cauliflower, too.

I hate it with stilton but love it with cheddar. I like broccoli and I like stilton, just don't like the combination
