Total Time: 40 min
Prep : 15 min
Cook : 25 min
Ingredients :
Directions :
1. Separate the stems and the florets from the broccoli. Trim and discard the bottom
of the broccoli stems and peel the tough outer layers. Finely chop the stems and
coarsely chop the florets and set aside separately.
2. Mist a large pot with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add
the broccoli stems, onions and potatoes and cook, stirring, until softened, 7 to
10 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 2
minutes. Stir in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a
simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the
vegetables are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, combine the reserved florets and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, cover and continue to steam until the florets are bright green
and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the entire contents of the pot with the
florets to the soup along with the nutmeg. Stir to combine and remove from the
heat. Stir in the Cheddar, Worcestershire and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with the scallions.
4. Cook's Note: Leftover soup should be reheated in the microwave rather than the
stovetop, where the cheese will "break" or separate from the broth.
