1 chicken bouillon cube
1 1/2 cup broccoli
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
Pinch of thyme
– – – – – – – –
1 ounce cheddar cheese
1 ounce sour cream
Directions
Place the first seven ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer until broccoli is tender – around 5-7 minutes. Stir often because the milk can scorch and the soup can boil over.
Pour soup into a food processor or a high quality blender. Add sour cream and cheese. Process until smooth.
Serve
Makes two big servings or 4 small servings.
Alternate Directions
Place broccoli, water, and bouillon cube in a saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer until broccoli is fork tender. Remove broccoli from pan and place into food processor. Process until smooth. Add back to water, bring to simmer. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until heated through.
Suggestions
Per person serving suggestion:
Serve with 2 – 3 ounces of baked salmon or 2 or 3 ounces or baked chicken.
If serving soup as small servings, add a small salad of romaine lettuce and carrots.
