Detoxing broccoli soup

Gerla de Boer Broccoli soup

This detoxing broccoli is creamy, healthy and you will impress your guests if you decorate the soup with the lovely yellow flowers.

What to do with your glut of broccoli

I am sure you are just like me, how to work your way through that glut of broccoli on your allotment? After a long wait for the broccoli is all of sudden ready to be eaten. Then the pretty yellow flowers appear. Don’t be afraid! You can eat these too. I hate wasting vegetables, and during spring, purple sprouting broccoli and rhubarb are thriving in the allotment. So you need to be creative and come up with some new recipes. One of them is my purple broccoli and rhubarb with soya sauce stir fry. The mix of sweet and sour makes it a delicious dish.

Use every part of the purple broccoli plant

This recipe of broccoli soup is creamy, packs in the green nutrients and has a nutty kick from the broccoli flowers. I used every part of the plant, the purple sprouting broccoli, the yellow flowers and the leaves. The white miso paste gives it a delicious creamy texture.

You can substitute the broccoli leaves by other greens, but it will change the flavour slightly.

I have used the Thermomix for this recipe of detoxing broccoli soup. Not a problem if you don’t have one. I have added an alternative method in the notes.

Bon appetit!
