Cream of Broccoli Soup

In soups On November 14, 2011 1 Comment

I love the idea of Cream of Broccoli Soup, however, the reality is often not so great. For some reason, soggy broccoli floating in a sea of melted processed cheese is not my idea of a comforting soup.

So here is my version of a great broccoli soup; it’s based on an Emeril Lagasse recipe and if you like broccoli I am guessing you’ll love this soup too. It’s heavy on the broccoli and light on the cheese (at least relatively speaking). I used a mild cheddar cheese because that is what I had in the fridge, but I think a sharp cheddar would be delicious too!

I can’t promise your kids will love it, but mine sure did. My youngest daughter (typically a soup hater) loved the idea of meatballs in her soup, took one bit and exclaimed “Yum, yum, yummy. This soup is really delicious.”

Today’s recipe is a simple, but delicious, tomato soup. We added some grilled cheese sandwiches, but this soup would also be great with a green salad. It’s easy, healthy, and a great choice for quick meatless meal.

The humble potato, so unpretentious and yet so versatile. And typically inexpensive too!

Well, here is yet another reason to love potatoes. Potatoes can be used to thicken soups.

White Bean & Chicken Soup

I saw a recipe for White Bean and Chicken Chili and thought it sounded great. But when I went to actually make it for my family, they were all groaning about it. No one was in the mood for spicy food, so I adjusted the spices and made a White Bean & Chicken Soup instead. It was plenty flavorful, but mild enough for the kids.
