Broccoli Leek Soup (Broccoleek Soup)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

1 broccoli head – florets, stems and all, roughly chopped

1 leek – white part diced

1 big potato – diced

5 cups chicken broth or water (I like to use water)

1 slice or 1/2 cup of Brie with rind

 

Sunflower mixture for garnish

1/2 cup toasted sunflower seeds

1 pinch cumin seed – toasted with the sunflower seeds

A little saved yellow part from the leek, chopped fine

 

salt/pepper

 

 

Method:

 

Boil the broccoli, leek and the potato in the water/broth until all the vegetables are fully cooked and soft. Season to taste.

 

Use a hand blender and pulverize the mixture.

Add the cheese and return the soup to the heat. Add pepper to taste.

The cheese should melt at this point. If it doesn’t, use the hand blender to smooth the soup out.

It’s ready to serve.

 

Sprinkle the sunflower mixture onto the soup, and insert a broccoli in the middle.

Enjoy, yet another chilly night. As my son calls it – Broccoleek soup.
