Charred broccoli cream soup
By itself, broccoli can be a little light in personality. Which I suppose is why it's paired with cheese so often. However, charring broccoli, almost to the point of burnt, helps bring out its natural umami, along with a hint of pleasant bitterness. Its addition brings something special to this creamy soup. No cheese required.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Trim the broccoli, separating the florets from the thicker stems, and chopping all into bite-sized pieces.
- 2
Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. Add all the broccoli stems and simmer 2 minutes. Add 1/4 of the florets and simmer another 1 minute. Strain, reserving the liquid.
- 3
Put the pot back on medium heat. Add the butter and shallot. Fry for 1 minute to soften the shallot. Pour the broccoli water back into the pot. Add the chicken stock paste, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of freshly cracked black pepper, and bring to a simmer.

Return the parboiled broccoli to the pot and add the thyme leaves. Simmer for 10 minutes, then blitz with an immersion blender until smooth (for safety, you might want to let the soup cool a bit before doing this). Turn the heat up to medium-high and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until reduced and thickened slightly.
- 5
While waiting on the soup, put a medium pan on high heat. I suggest using cast iron or carbon steel for this step. Add a splash of veg oil, then the remaining broccoli florets and a good pinch of salt. Let sear, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli's singed and softened (but not mushy). Remove the florets and set them aside.
- 6
Take the pot off the heat and stir in the cream. Add the charred florets. Check the seasoning and add more salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.

Just like french onion soup doesnt make you smell like onion, garlic soup is a french farm country delicacy that gives incredible flavor without leaving any garlic smell. And this recipe roasts the bulbs in such a way that the cloves come out without peeling with your fingers.We grow a mild garlic called elephant garlic, twice as big as regular garlic and twice as mild. Garlic is believed to be good for you, a potent natural antibiotic, but we make this garlic soup for its delicate creamy flavor. Sprinkle with bacon bits, serve with sourdough bread and a glass of dry white wine.Here is the recipe.

Asparagus Cream Soup/Sup Krim Asparagus Asparagus Cream Soup/Sup Krim Asparagus
Do you know that asparagus is a lower risk of depression? As an excellent asparagus source of folate, according to a scientific article published in 2008, folate may also reduce the risk of depression. It may do so by preventing too much homocysteine from forming in the body. Homocysteine is an amino acid that can block blood and nutrients from reaching the brain. If too much homocysteine is present, it may also interfere with the feel-good hormones serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine production. These hormones regulate mood, sleep, and appetite. It's low in calories and a great source of nutrients, including fiber, folate, and vitamins A, C, and K. Additionally, eating asparagus has several potential health benefits, including weight loss, improved digestion, healthy pregnancy outcomes, and lower blood pressure.And asparagus cream soup is one of the best options for winter soup!Recipe by @Simple_Woman23Dec 8th, 2020#asparagus #cream #soup #sup #krim #asparagus #delicious for #winter #sup untuk #musim #hujan atau #dingin #cookpadcommunity#cookpadcommunity_USA#cookpadcommunity_Indonesia
