Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 small bunch broccoli
  • 4 cups stock ((vegetable or chicken))
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (chopped)
  • 1 small yellow onion (peeled and diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (smashed and peeled)
  • 2 carrots (peeled and shredded)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup basic gum free gluten free flour blend
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces sharp yellow cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • gluten free artisan bread (as bread bowl (optional))

Instructions

  1. Prepare the optional bread bowl.
  2. Prepare the optional bread bowl. If you’d like to serve your soup in a bread bowl, please follow the instructions for making a loaf of our gluten free artisan bread.
  3. Prepare the optional bread bowl. Allow the bread to cool, then use a serrated knife to carve out the center of the bread down close to the bottom crust (but without piercing it).
  4. Prepare the optional bread bowl. Pull out as much of the center of the bread as you can without compromising the integrity of the loaf.
  5. Prepare the optional bread bowl. Set the bread bowl aside.
  6. Prepare the broccoli. Separate the broccoli florets from the stems, and rinse them clean. In a small, heavy-bottom saucepan, place about 1 cup of stock and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  7. Prepare the broccoli. Place the broccoli florets in the simmering stock and cook until just bright green (about 2 minutes).
  8. Prepare the broccoli. Remove the florets, place in a separate small bowl and set aside.
  9. Prepare the broccoli. Remove the stock from the heat and set it aside.
  10. Prepare the soup. In a large, heavy-bottom saucepan, place the butter and melt over medium heat.
  11. Prepare the soup. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, salt and pepper, and mix to combine.
  12. Prepare the soup. Sauté the vegetables until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant (about 6 minutes).
  13. Prepare the soup. Remove and discard the garlic.
  14. Prepare the soup. Add the flour blend, mix to combine and cook until the flour begins to smell nutty (about 2 minutes).
  15. Prepare the soup. Slowly add all of the stock (the 3 cups remaining, plus the cup used to blanch the broccoli), whisking constantly, until well-combined.
  16. Prepare the soup. Add the bay leaves, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens (about 8 minutes).
  17. Prepare the soup. Remove and discard the bay leaves, add the milk and cream, and continue to cook for another 2 minutes or until beginning to thicken.
  18. Prepare the soup. Add the cheddar cheese, and cook until the cheese is melted.
  19. Prepare the soup. Serve immediately with the blanched broccoli florets in a regular bowl or your bread bowl!
