BROCCOLI SOUP

Give this soup a try. You won't believe how easy it is and how good it is. Only 4 basic ingredients. Broccoli, water, salt, and pepper. Trust me on this one.
The green color is not photo shopped. It really is that green. Cooking the broccoli quickly with the lid on the pan is the reason it stays so green. Hmmmm...this would be a good dish for St. Patricks Day.

This is a recipe from Gordon Ramsay. Rather than post the recipe just watch it on You Tube.

I used croutons instead of walnuts. Walnuts seemed a bit strange. Start with a small amount of water and add more until the soup is thinned to the consistency you like. Next time I make this I'm going to top it with gorgonzola and bacon. I love his tip about putting the knife in the hot water to make a nice clean slice on the goat cheese.

Hope you like it. Be sure to use a lot of salt. Try Diamond Crystal Kosher salt. You can only find it at Tri-County.
