Broccoli Cheese Soup
Srivalli's blogging marathon - 9th edition starts from today. I chose to go with "Soups / Salads" theme this week though "Festive Special" and "Regional Special" themes were equally tempting. I did not want to pack any extra calories either in the guise of a holiday season or blogging. :)
My first post in the series is going to be this broccoli - cheese soup, a family favorite of ours and hopefully it may be yours too if you give it a try. :) A hot bowl of a creamy, rich, flavorful soup seems like a perfect companion on cold days like these.
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp oil / butter (I usually go with olive / canola oil.)
1 garlic clove finely minced
1/2 cup finely minced white onion
2 Tbsp wheat flour
1 cup broccoli florets chopped
1/2 cup peeled & finely minced carrot
1/2 cup peeled & finely minced carrot
3 cups water
Grated cheddar cheese as preferred (I used 2 Kraft cheddar cheese singles as I did not have grated cheese on the day I prepared soup.)
Salt to taste
Method:
Heat oil in a pan and add garlic. Fry until golden brown and add onion. Saute until translucent and then add wheat flour. Fry it for a minute on low flame and then add broccoli, carrot and water to the pan. Stir well so that no lumps are formed. Continue to cook on medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add cheese and salt; cook until the cheese melts. Serve hot.

Very good idea to sneak in broccoli :) Looks like you have pureed broccoli, Have you not?
Harini,
Fortunately, I don't have to sneak in broccoli at my home. We buy it especially for the soup.
And I didn't puree it. If I had, the soup would have been green.
wow looks very yum; will try soon
