Broccoli + Blue Cheese Soup

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 small potatoes
  • 1 large head of broccoli
  • 1 liter vegetable stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • salt + ground pepper
  • 100 grams of blue cheese
  • olive oil + fresh herbs for garnish

Directions

  1. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Add to a large pot over medium high heat. Add the melted butter and saute until the onions become soft, around 5 minutes. Cube the potatoes and the stalk of the broccoli and add to the pot with the vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 15-20 mintues.

  2. Chop the flower portion of the head of broccoli and add to the pot. After 2-3 minutes, add the nutmeg, salt + pepper and blue cheese. Stir well and use a hand blender to puree the mixture. Once smooth, spoon into bowls, drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh herbs.
