Broccoli is full of nutrients, but many people don't like broccoli. This is sure to make you eat more broccoli in one sitting than you normally eat in a year, and still want more!
- 2-3 large broccoli heads, with stems (the key to GOOD broccoli soup is the stems.... better to chop up the stems of a half dozen broccoli heads if you can't find broccoli with loooooong stems)
- 1/4 cup chopped onions (I usually use far less, just a tablespoon or 2)
- 32 fl oz or a quart of milk (I use one whole carton of rice milk- unsweetened and make sure there is no vanilla flavoring in it)
- Spoonful of butter or ghee (which is also known as clarified butter and doesn't have any lactose or casein in it)
-Salt and pepper
1) Chop up broccoli heads into large bite size pieces. Peel/cut away to tough fiberous skins of the broccoli stems and cut stems into rounds.
2) Combine broccoli, onion, butter/ghee, and milk in a large pot (the milk should not cover the broccoli and only be about 2/3 of the way up) and simmer on medium-low with a lid until broccoli is cooked. Stir occasionally to make sure the broccoli is cooked evenly.
3) Pour entire contents into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with croutons or crackers.
