Broccoli Soup

8 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter, plus another for finishing (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 lime, juiced

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt the butter in a large heavy pan over medium heat, add the onion and carrot and salt. Saute until soft, about five minutes.
  2. 2
    Add the broccoli, stir to coat, then add the chicken broth and cumin. Raise the heat to medium high, bring to a simmer, return heat to medium and cook until broccoli is very soft, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. 3
    Puree the soup in a food processor, or with an immersion blender. (My preferred method, so much easier than transferring to a machine, if you don't have one, you should.) You might want to add another tablespoon of butter here for a richer soup--that's not where I'm at today but I think it's a good move. Add lime juice and a few grindings of pepper and your virtuous meal or first course is ready.
