Broccoli Cheese Soup

RECIPES from the Garden

Food is one of the most fundamental importances in life, but it’s also an artistic process! Just as with beauty, delicious food is also in the eye of the beholder. Thus the “perfect” recipe is subjective and different to every body, whether that be because of taste preferences, dietary commitments, or allergies.

"Recipes" have to be tweaked and tailored to the individual to make truly amazing food! For this reason, we provide ingredients and methods, but not exact quantities and ratios. We like LOTS of flavor so we use lots of ingredients, but you can add more or less, include or exclude whatever you want according to your tastes. It's fun to cook from a creative perspective rather than to copy someone else’s version of great food!

We're not here to tell you what your flavor palette is. We aim - through beautiful photos and unique food formulas - to inspire you to play with your food!

Ingredients:​

• Oil, butter, or bacon fat

• Flour

• Milk

• Chicken stock

• Onion, chopped

• Celery stalk, chopped

• Broccoli florets

• Garlic powder

• Himalayan pink salt

• Ground black pepper

• The All Mighty Herbal Medley

• Sprinkle of cayenne

• Cheese, shredded

• Vegetable or chicken stock, or water

• Garnishes (optional): shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, dollop of sour cream, hot sauce, sprinkle of herbs, nutritional yeast, paprika

Method:

1. Heat the oil, butter, or bacon fat over medium-low heat in a soup pot. Sprinkle on flour, and stir together to make a roux. Cook for a few minutes.

2. Add onions, and toss to coat. Cook until onions just begin to turn translucent.

3. Add milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly until incorporated and mixture begins to thicken.

4. Sprinkle with garlic powder, pink salt , black pepper, The All Mighty Herbal Medley, and cayenne to taste.

5. Add celery and broccoli. The broccoli may absorb a lot of liquid, so add more milk and/or chicken stock if you wish. Gently simmer over low to medium heat until vegetables are tender.

6. Stir in handfuls of shredded cheese until melted.

7. Taste, and add herbs, spices, and seasonings as needed.

8. Ladle into bowls (or bread bowls!), top with preferred garnishes, and enjoy!
