This is delicious. I made it tonight and served it with savory bread (from When Pigs Fly bakery in Boston) and hamburgers. We both loved it, and it only took less than half an hour to get on the table. It is a great way to used fresh broccoli.
Serves 4-5
Ingredients:
2 lb broccoli, cut into florets and stem chunks
2 potatoes, chopped
1 big onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
4 cups water
1 Tbls olive oil or butter
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp freshly ground mixed black pepper
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Heat oil or butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute, stirring, for 3 minutes or until soft.
Add broccoli, potato, seasonings and 4 cups cold water.
Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat. Half at a time, put in blender and blend on smoothie setting until mostly smooth. Reheat if necessary.
