Is broccoli soup a thing?

[Tilllly]

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

Broccoli and Stilton soup ruins a good cheese.

We're having this for tea tonight, very popular here, without cheese.

Broccoli and cauliflower cheese is also nice - use half cauliflower and half broccoli. Yum.

I make soup with anything.
I don't like cheese much but would add potato, onion and chilli. Maybe some ground coriander.

I hate broccoli soup but love broccoli in all other forms.

Gorgeous roasted.
Broccoli in a cheesy sauce is amazing.
You can roughly chop, mix with pesto, add a blob of cream cheese and make it into a pasta sauce, DS loves that.
I have it in curries and a broccoli quiche is the only acceptable type of quiche.

Have you eaten it yet ?
Did you use Stilton or cheddar?

I added a pinch of chilli flakes

Its edible but that's about all I can say for it

If you have any more leftover broccoli I highly recommend roasting broccoli and serving it with a satay sauce- gorgeous!

Just cut it into florets and slice the stems and freeze. Just frozen veg, innit?

I do Broccoli and cheese soup in the soup maker I add a potato a chicken stock cube and fry and onion too. Love it.

Don't use the stalk if it makes you trump.

Have a look at Jamie Oliver's broccoli minestrone recipe, that might be more up your street. Actually, he uses broccoli in all sorts of ways, pasta, soup, quiche etc, so maybe worth you checking out.

I make charred butter broccoli soup and it's so tasty.

It's basically the process that creates the flavour. It's very sparse on ingredients.

Cut broccoli stalks off. And as much of the stalks into the florets. Trim them well at the base so no tough bits are left.

Melt butter in heavy bottomed pan and add the chopped stalks. Raise the heat to moderate and leave it to start to char a little. You want even toasted colour. This is your flavour.

Then add the rest of the broccoli, a few cups of stock, salt and pepper and cover.

When tender use a stick blender to purée it.

It's gorgeous. You can add cream and Stilton to taste if you prefer at the end before you purée.

I use cheddar instead of Stilton but it's lovely.

My husband makes broccoli and Stilton soup about once a week. Yum.

With almonds or other nuts, toasted or not, sprinkled over the soup makes it even better (if you like that kind of thing).

It is if you add loads of fat

Another vote for broccoli and cheese!

I like broccoli soup. I think I made it most recently with a mix of broccoli, cauliflower and either onions or leeks, plus vegetable stock.

I'm very partial to a dish I invented, where I put some past on to cook, then lightly fry some sliced mushrooms, garlic and cherry tomatoes, maybe some spring onion as well, stir in broccoli florets cut smallish and turn up the heat, then when all vegetables are tender, mix with drained cooked pasta, grate on lots and lots of Parmesan, add plenty of black pepper and possibly sea salt, delicious.

Just don't eat it in the middle of an office. We had someone do this twice recently and it made them deeply unpopular. It's quite strong smelling.

I used to have a colleague who heated up cabbage soup in the microwave in the converted cupboard we had to use as a staff kitchen. It had no ventilation. She then carried it back to her office to eat. The brassica smell hung around for most of the afternoon.

I love broccoli soup! So easy to make, and the kids like it too - added bonus 👍😆

No, it makesyou trump!!

I live the stalk. Sliced and roasted until it's got a crunch it's Devine. It I'll eat it raw, steamed, in a soup, in a bake I prefer it to the florets!!

anyone who hates it in a b&s soup, I suggest trying it in different places, I LOVE it, but I've had a few that were disgusting.

Soup is ok. If I accidentally end up with loads I make broccoli and cheese scones. DIVINE. And they freeze well! Eat warm with salted butter 👍

I like broccoli, stilton and soup...

but I don't like broccoli and stilton soup!
