"CREAM" OF BROCCOLI AND SPINACH SOUP

Picture

I started creating this soup with the intention of using just two ingredients Broccoli and Cauliflower. I use  Cauliflower for my "cream" soups and they come out quite rich and healthy. When you are making a pureed soup you can also use a potato or white beans (northern white or cannellini are my favorite) for the " cream" as well. Here's to your health and waistline!

Ingredients:

1 medium onion
4 small or 2 large celery stalks with green tops
4 broccoli stalks
1 large head cauliflower
1 bunch spinach
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. white pepper 
1 tsp. nutmeg
5-6 cups water
Celery greens for garnishing

Preheat oven to 375 F.
Chop onion, celery, cauliflower and broccoli. Place 2/3 of the broccoli and 1/3 of the cauliflower in roasting pan. Roast in oven for  about 1 hour.

In soup pot saute onion and celery on medium until soft, add  salt, white pepper and nutmeg along with the remaining cauliflower and broccoli- cover with water (about 5 or 6 cups) and cook on low. Your vegetable broth will be done when veggies are soft. Add ROASTED cauliflower and broccoli to soup pot. Add fresh cleaned spinach. Puree soup and then enjoy your CREAM of BROCCOLI and SPINACH Soup.

Garnish with celery greens. This soup can be enjoyed warm or cold. A teaspoon of light sour cream or non fat plain yogurt would be tasty if 
serving cold.

To your good health, remember you do not have to add cream to enjoy a "creamed" soup.


Enjoy,
