BROCCOLI SOUP

 

2 medium heads broccoli, broken into florets, stalk chopped

1 large potato, cut into 2cm cubes

1 large or 2 small onions, sliced - red are good if you have them

2 large garlic cloves 2 tablespoons olive oil

juice of 1/2 lemon

 

Fry the onion in oil over a gentle heat until soft - about 10 minutes,

don't allow it to brown. Add crushed garlic and fry for 1 minute. Add

the chopped potato and broccoli and stir. Add enough cold water to

cover vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to the boil

and simmer for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender (check

by trying to squash them against the side of the pan with a wooden

spoon. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little before blending

in a liquidiser or with a hand-held blender. Season as necessary and

stir in the lemon juice. Reheat gently if necessary and serve.
