Alternative Medicine.(Cream of Broccoli Soup)



So after about a week with a pretty sore throat, I had two choices tonight. I could either say Phuqit and go see Castevet and go out in the 15'F weather, or I could make some soup. The fact that I am posting this blog means I chose the latter.







Ingredients:

32 oz. Frozen Broccoli
4 Cups Vegetable Stock
1/2 tsp powdered dried rosemary
1/2 tsp dried thyme
3 TBSP Olive Oil
2 Cloves Garlic
1 Small Yellow Onion
3 TBSP Flour
2 cups Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk ( I used So Delicious Coconut Milk as it was on sale this week)
sea salt & black pepper


  1. Put on a great Outkast record,(I chose Stankonia) and then Cook Broccoli until tender in stock.
  2. With a slotted spoon, remove one cup of broccoli florets. Set aside
  3. Peel/Dice garlic cloves, dice onion and Sauté on medium heat in 1 Tbsp olive oil until translucent. Add to pot
  4. Place remaining broccoli, liquid, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and salt in the blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
  5. Heat the olive oil in the soup pan. Add the flour and cook on low for 5-8 minutes.
  6. Stir in coconut milk, bring to a boil then simmer till thickened, stirring constantly.
  7. Stir in broccoli puree and non-blended florets.
  8. Heat gently & serve immediately
