Broccoflower Skinny Soup

A community recipe by Coby

Not tested or verified by Nigella.com

Introduction

This recipe is based on 'Muff's Soup' from The Cook's Companion by Stephanie Alexander. It's originally made with cauliflower, and less stock. I like the sweetness of the broccoflower, and I prefer my soups thinner. If you like it thicker, just use a litre of stock. I use packaged stock for this, hence the break down of part salt reduced and part regular chicken stock. You could just use some water in place of part of the stock instead of using the two varieties.

Ingredients

Serves: 4

Metric Cups

1 litre salt reduced chicken stock
500 millilitres chicken stock
1 broccoli (cut into pieces including stalks)
1 teaspoon vegemite (or 1 tbsp maggie seasoning)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
black pepper
125 millilitres cream
Parmesan cheese (to serve optional)

1⅘ pints salt reduced chicken broth
18 fluid ounces chicken broth
1 broccoli (cut into pieces including stalks)
1 teaspoon vegemite (or 1 tbsp maggie seasoning)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
black pepper
4 fluid ounces cream
Parmesan cheese (to serve optional)

Bring stock to boil, add broccoflower and cook until tender. Leave to cool for a few minutes.

Puree in blender or use stab blender. Return to pot, heat gentle and stir in Vegemite or Seasoning until dissolved. Taste and add pepper (it shouldn't need salt as the Vegemite is salty enough).

Stir in the parsley and cream if using. Serve with parmesan cheese grated over the top if desired. Makes about 2 litres.
