Broccoli Stem Potage

The stem of a head of broccoli I bought were so thick and grand.
Usually I peel, slice thinly and boil them or something, but I thought I'd try making a soup out of them.

It depends on the broccoli you have, but the thick stems are fibrous, so you need to peel them thickly or the soup may be grainy.
The stems I used this time weighed more than 300 g.
If you add the green parts of the broccoli too, the soup will be brighter in color. I used the stems only this time, so the soup is just a very light green. Recipe by Junchan
