This is a very creamy soup from Everyday Foods magazine. It's quick and easy, plus it is healthier than the traditional creamed soup. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 medium onion, diced |
coarse salt and pepper |
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth |
1 head broccoli, chopped (about 3 lbs) |
1 medium baking potato, peeled and finely chopped |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons) |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add broth, broccoli, potato, and 2 cups of water. Season generously with salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until broccoli and potato are just tender.
2. Working in batches, puree soup in a blender and return to the pot. Stir in cream and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
