Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hi, I just received this from Vegetarian Times - Recipe of the week. I am passing it on for two reasons. First, it is very much like a recipe I make, except that I use any a mix of vegetables as often as not and cilantro and parsley and garlic, and I use tofu rather than oatmeal. (I'm going to try it this way next!) The second reason is that it contains nutritional information, whereas my own recipe doesn't because I kinda made it up as I went along, varying things according to which veggies I use ;=) So here goes an official version: CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP 4 Servings—Vegan Traditional cream soups are made with a roux consisting of butter, flour and milk. This tasty recipe omits the flour and thickens the soup with oats. 1 cup cooked rolled oats Cayenne pepper to taste 3 cups vegetable stock 1 tsp. olive oil 1/4 cup apple juice or white wine 2 cups chopped broccoli 1 cup chopped onion 1 tsp. minced garlic 1 tsp. dried thyme 1/2 tsp. dried basil In large saucepan, combine oil, juice or wine, broccoli, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened, about 15 minutes. Add thyme, basil and stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to food processor or blender. Add oatmeal and process until thick and creamy. Return to pot and add cayenne pepper to taste. PER 1-cup serving: 97 CAL; 5 G PROT; 3 G TOTAL FAT (0 SAT. FAT); 16 G CARB.; 0 MG CHOL; 764 MG SOD.; 3 G FIBER best, Pat -- SANTBROWN townhounds/ vegetarianslimming/ HOMEPAGE: http://www.angelfire.com/art/pendragon/ ---------- * " I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet " - Gandhi * " The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men " - Leonardo da Vinci ---------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Okay, tried out the soup (made a half recipe cuz I found I had less broccoli than I thought) today and the recipe works just fine ;=) The soup was 'rich' and creamy and the flavours were perfectly blended. This is a keeper.
