Broccoli & Potato Soup
Broccoli & Potato Soup
Sounds like a great soup, a must try.
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, roughly diced, skin on
- 1 head large broccoli, roughly chopped, including stem
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium sized pot, boil potatoes until soft, then add chopped broccoli and cook for about 5 minutes more, there is no need to cook the broccoli until soft. Keep a lid on the pot at all times while boiling. Remove from heat and let cool for a little while.
- Once cooled a bit, use a slotted spoon to scoop out the potatoes and broccoli into your blender. Add some water from the pot. Save the rest of the water in case you need to change the consistency later. The water is also rich in the water soluble vitamins. You can refrigerate the water for several days and use in any recipe that calls for water.
- Blend thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste, then blend some more. Add water from the pot to get the smoothness that you desire. Serve with rice crackers or any bread not made with eggs or dairy and you have a great meal.
Notes
Well under $1 per serving.
Leave the skin on the potatoes
Good point, Dave. Many nutrients are in the skin, the skinned part of the potatoes goes in the blender, and the nutrients that leach out during boiling, that is the reason to save the water.
