Creamy Dolcelate and Tenderstem Soup with Tomato and Herb Croutons 09

Perfect to kick off your dinner party, great in a mug for a light lunch at the weekend, and it even travels well for a working lunch, this soup, made with British Tenderstem broccoli does it all.

 

Cheesy Tenderstem Broccoli Soup

Ingredients

Fry Light cooking spray

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 medium potato, peeled and diced

1 bay leaf

2 x 200g packs Tenderstem broccoli

1 litre vegetable stock

150g Dolcelatte cheese

salt and freshly ground black pepper

croutons (optional)

Method

1.  Spray a large pan with Fry Light. Add the onion and saute gently for 5 minutes until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic, potato and bay leaf. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potato softens.

2.  Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into 2-3 cm pieces, add to the pan with the stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the broccoli  is tender. Roughly chop the Dolcelatte and stir into the pan until melted.

3.  Remove the bay leaf and also a few of the broccoli florets to garnish the finished soup. Using a hand blender or liquidiser, blitz the soup until smooth. Season to taste.

4.  Serve the soup hot, garnished with the reserved broccoli florets and a few croutons if liked.

    Absolutely delicious! A lovely tasty meal for the first stage after surgery. An easy to prepare, simple recipe with loads of flavour! I thought I would never be able to enjoy the taste of cheese again after surgery but this recipe satisfies my cheese craving and incorporates the added benefit of yummy nutritious broccoli!

    So pleased that you enjoyed this recipe Rebecca. Eating after wls can be a bit tricky especially in the early stages so I am glad that this hit the spot. There are so many foods you can enjoy…including cheese..and broccoli! Good luck with your weight-loss journey and do keep in touch! C x
