So you might make this soup tonight!
Since this recipe relies on a single ingredient, using fresh, high-quality broccoli is important.
Gordon recommends selecting dark-green broccoli without any flowering florets to achieve rich color in the soup.
This ensures that the salt dissolves evenly, seasoning the broccoli perfectly.
Boil them for three to four minutes or until the florets can be easily pierced.
To avoid scratching my pot, I test my florets with a fork instead, but either method works.
Drain the broccoli using a colander set inside another pot or a bowl, saving the broccoli stock.
In a blender, combine the broccoli with about half its volume in saved stock.
Blending incorporates air into the soup, giving it a frothy texture and fuller appearance.
Taste the soup and season with additional salt, if needed.
This gives the soup a deeper, roasted flavor.
you’re free to also add garnishes like grated cheese, nuts, or bacon bits.
However you enhance it, that delicious broccoli flavor shines in this soup.
