I can’t believe I haven’t posted this one yet! I ate three bowls of it for dinner last night. It really hits the spot when you’re pressed for time and hungry for something healthy-hearty-homemade!
Ingredients:
– one-two large heads of chopped broccoli (about 4-6 cups chopped)
– one chopped onion
– 6 cloves chopped garlic
– 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme
– one cup or more of shredded cheddar cheese
– two tablespoons flour
– salt and pepper to taste
1. Saute the onion until translucent
2. Add the garlic and thyme, swirl
3. Add the chopped broccoli and enough water to cover completely
4. Simmer until the broccoli is tender (or, as often happens, until you can get back to the stove after changing a diaper, wiping a nose, helping with a puzzle… washing your hands first, of course.)
5. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until there are no more large chunks.
6. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and slightly thickened.
7. Add the cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until melted.
Enjoy with a big hunk of wheat levain! Take seconds and then thirds if you feel so inclined. Delish!
