BROCCOLI SOUP

Ingredients :


Broccoli - 1 Small Flower
Onion - 1/2 No (Medium Size)
Garlic - 2 pearls.
Pepper - As required
Salt - As per taste
Butter - 2 Teaspoon
Maida/All Purpose Flour - 2 Teaspoon
Milk - 1/2 Cup
Olive Oil - 1 Teaspoon


Method :


Cut the broccoli into small florets and put them in to warm water with salt, so that the worms or insects if any will come outside.


Heat olive oil, and butter in a pan, add onions and garlic saute with a pinch of salt, until translucent, now add maida to it and saute for a minute, then add the broccoli pieces, add enough water and cook covered until it is done. Now pass through a sieve and reserve the stock, and puree the solids (cooked onion, garlic, and broccoli pieces) in a blender. Now in a pan, add the stock, milk, and puree (adjust the consistency with water) and bring to a boil, now add salt, and pepper powder accordingly. For garnishing you can add sliced almonds to it. Serve hot with toasted bread or soup sticks. 


Variation :


You can add a small tomato chopped in to pieces along with onions and garlic, for a little tangy taste.
