Ingredients:<\/p>\n

1 broccoli head \u2013 florets, stems and all, roughly chopped<\/p>\n

1 leek \u2013 white part diced<\/p>\n

1 big potato \u2013 diced<\/p>\n

5 cups chicken broth or water (I like to use water)<\/p>\n

1 slice or 1\/2 cup of Brie with rind<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunflower mixture for garnish<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup toasted sunflower seeds<\/p>\n

1 pinch cumin seed – toasted with the sunflower seeds<\/p>\n

A little saved yellow part from the leek, chopped fine<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

salt\/pepper<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Method:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

Use a hand blender and pulverize the mixture.<\/p>\n

Add the cheese and return the soup to the heat. Add pepper to taste.<\/p>\n

The cheese should melt at this point. If it doesn\u2019t, use the hand blender to smooth the soup out.<\/p>\n

It’s ready to serve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sprinkle the sunflower mixture onto the soup, and insert a broccoli in the middle.<\/p>\n

Enjoy, yet another chilly night. As my son calls it – Broccoleek soup.<\/p>\n
