Ingredients
for Cream of Broccoli Soup
- 1/2 cup chopped broccoli stalks
- 1 cup chopped chopped broccoli
- 2 tsp fresh cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp plain flour (maida)
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg (jaiphal) powder
- salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper (kalimirch) to taste
Method
for Cream of Broccoli Soup
- Since broccoli comes in a tree like shape, you have to remove the larger stalk and keep only the florets and the small stalks that are attached to it.
- To make cream of broccoli soup, heat 1 tbsp of butter in a deep non-stick pan, add the broccoli stalks and sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes.
- We prefer to sauté the broccoli stalks before the broccoli florets because they take more time to cook in comparison to the florets and since we have to blend them into a smooth puree at a later stage, it is important for them to be well cooked for the cream of broccoli soup to be smooth and not gra
- Add the broccoli florets, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 4 minutes, while stirring occasionally. It is very important that the broccoli does not brown as it will not give a vibrant green color to our broccoli soup.
- Cool slightly and transfer the broccoli stalks and florets in a mixer.
- Add ½ cup of water to the same mixer.
- Blend till you get a smooth puree. Keep aside.
- Heat the remaining butter in the same deep non-stick pan, add the plain flour and mix using a whisk on a medium flame for 30 seconds, making sure that there is no discolouration.
- Add the milk, mix well using a whisk and cook on a medium flame for 4 to 5 minutes, while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- The combination of butter, plain four and milk when cooked in the ratio of 1 tbsp : 1 tbsp : 1 cup, results in a silky smooth thick sauce, but since this is a soup, we did not want to make the milk base very thick and hence took a little more milk to make the base thinner but still provide the same creaminess
- Add the broccoli purée, nutmeg powder, salt, freshly ground black pepper and 1 cup of water, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
- Switch off the flame. Add the fresh cream and mix well.
- Serve hot.

Hi Chini, Thank you for your concern. We have not mapped this recipe to prayshushan section as we are aware that jains do not eat this during that time.
