0:00
- Are you like me sometimes
0:02
and are bad about cooking too much broccoli?
0:06
Well, I'm gonna share the quickest broccoli soup,
0:09
cream of broccoli soup with you.
0:13
It's just a great way to use up that broccoli,
0:16
or some people like this soup so much,
0:19
they intentionally make it, not using leftovers.
0:24
So I have one head of broccoli that I've steamed.
0:30
You know the florets,
0:31
you don't wanna leave big stalks on it.
0:37
I think you can see, see that?
0:41
Just got those nice florets.
0:45
All right, now I'm gonna pour a little chicken stock
0:51
in there to just help me get my mood that I need.
1:21
I'm gonna transfer that now to my pot.
1:27
And if you don't like yours slap cadaver pureed,
1:35
you can leave some chunk to it, right?
1:39
I'm just gonna that out and get every bit
1:44
of that wonderful broccoli outta there.
1:48
I'm gonna add half a cup of heavy cream,
1:52
heavy whipping cream,
1:55
and we're just gonna bring that nice little soft boil
2:02
and it's gonna be time to eat soup, y'all.
2:05
You believe how easy?
2:07
And you can actually make this
2:10
with frozen broccoli florets,
2:15
but a real, real quick fix for you.
2:28
Okay, I'm gonna add a little salt.
2:36
I'm going to add a little pepper.
2:44
If you like a little zing to this,
2:50
you can always add a few drops of hot sauce,
2:53
which I'm probably gonna, the Paula Deen hot sauce I love
2:58
so much and it's not so hot that I can't eat it.
3:03
So I'll probably, towards the end,
3:06
add a little bit of that for this,
3:08
but it's gonna be ready to eat.
3:10
How simple is that, y'all?
3:13
Okay, our soup is nice and hot
3:15
and you can see how thin it is.
3:18
Now, if you like yours that thin
3:20
where you can almost put it in a cup and drink it,
3:26
but I like mine with a little bit more body to it.
3:28
So I'm gonna take a little corn starch,
3:34
get me a little drop of water,
3:39
and I'm gonna drop that in on that soup
3:44
while it's on the nice, kind of low boil.
3:52
And you just wanna mix that corn starch real good.
3:54
You don't want anything lumping on you,
3:57
and like I said, you wanna drop your slurry in
4:01
while it's actually boiling.
4:08
Yeah, I like more of this kind of body to my cream soups.
4:17
So I'm gonna turn that down some, oops, that's up.
4:26
Yeah, see, I like that. I like that.
4:29
But do it to suit your tongue.
4:31
Now, I'm gonna add just a little drop of hot sauce,
4:35
and at this point, y'all,
4:38
you can put whatever flavor you want in it,
4:42
you can take it anywhere you want to,
4:45
but this is your basic cream of broccoli soup.
4:49
So this is how I would want to serve it
4:56
if you were come into my house,
4:59
and you'll see that it's got some body to it
5:13
I turned it off, didn't I? No, I didn't.
5:18
- It's off. - Yeah, it's off.
5:21
All right, I would dollop it with a little sour cream,
5:31
just a little bit of chive or parsley,
5:35
you know, to add some interest,
5:39
and then the next thing I would put in it
5:47
See, I just think that's just like the perfect consistency.
5:53
That was like a heaping tablespoon of corn starch,
5:57
so just enough water to wet it all.
6:08
That is so good, y'all,
6:16
and I know we are facing hot weather right now,
6:19
but you can turn your air conditioner down
6:21
a little bit lower, keep like it's winter,
6:29
