It's coooooooold!
Make this HOT and healthy Broccoli Soup.
There are 5 Ingredients!
Yea, I know it doesn't look like much but TRUST me on this one... it's kind of a miracle soup. Add it to your food line up this week!
This simple broccoli soup came from a true Italian-American who lives in Connecticut. She's been making this for years. When she visits her grand-daughter down in North Carolina she makes it and about 10 other things. Yes, she's that amazing grandmother who cooks/bakes non-stop while visiting. I never had one of those… but one can dream. If only she would visit me. Anyways, I had this soup when we were in North Carolina with my sister-n-law with that fabulous Grandmother of hers and it was good. Like REALLY good. Which to me was so weird since there's like, honestly, nothing to it!
Right. 5 ingredients makes up this puppy. 6 if you count the water.
Here's what you need:
Fill a large pot half way with water. Add salt. Boil it. Then add the broccoli (cleaned and cut into as small a pieces as you want in your soup) and boil about 12-15 minutes. Strain the broccoli out (keeping the now light green water in the pot) and put it on stand-by. It will look bright and beautiful!
Next, pour the broth in the water and bring to a boil again. Add pasta and cook. I actually didn't use the entire pasta package, it seemed like too much, but that's up to you. I also added some more salt at this time.
Then when the pasta is done add 3 tablespoons or a little more of olive oil to the pot...
pour the broccoli back in and serve! It feeds about 5-6 people. Depending on portions and how much broccoli or pasta you use.
Sometimes there's not enough liquid to this soup when you're finished... so I just throw some more water in. Maybe a little extra salt. Seriously, just wing it. It always tastes good!
***The other fabulous thing about this soup - it's very filling. You eat a bowl and you're stuffed! Not to mention, the cooked broccoli also sort of helps clean ya out… if you know what I mean. Broccoli will do that you! Therefore, it's the perfect meal for the start of the New Year!
I gave a bowl to my daughter this week, she had a couple bites, turned around and said "mom, it's stunning!" I'm actually not kidding. I had to ask her to repeat what she said because I was so confused. My 2 year old son also ate it… after it cooled off quite a bit. See, a miracle soup for so many reasons!
