Simple Broccoli Soup

On days where I'm too busy to sit down and have a proper meal (99% of the time), I like to rely on recipes that are super easy and straight forward. This soup is my go-to "I'm hungry and don't want to open a can" or of course If you're like me and have a pound of week old broccoli sitting around. Either way. It only has 4 ingredients and is great with bread and If you wish a little daiya cheese.

As a precaution please ignore my hideous/amateur photos (my regular camera is on leave),

4 Ingredient Broccoli Soup

BTW do NOT try this in a blender
I scorched myself trying to blend it HOT
 (at this point I concluded kitchen-florescent lighting is just not flattering)

Aside from the puke-green color in these photos the soup is actually a beautiful shade of green, but don't just take my word for it...

Ingredients
  • 1 lb pureed Broccoli
  • 4 cups Purified Water or Vegetable Stock
  • 1 large clove Garlic
  • Salt to taste
Directions:
In a med size pot bring 3 cups of your water/stock to boil, add broccoli and cook until broccoli is tender (not mushy), transfer into a food processor and blend with garlic. Add salt to taste.

When I first made this I thought I could blend it in a blender. Bad idea. The heat caused to lid to shoot off and HOT soup went flying all over the kitchen. Ouch.
