Sweet Tomatoes Cream of Broccoli Soup Recipe

The Broccoli Soup rounds out our trip to Sweet Tomatoes. This is a lighter version of the soup than what we are used to. Please do not keep this soup for a long time, it will not hold as nicely as other soups do. It is lower in fat.

Yield: 8 servings.
4 C. Fresh Broccoli Heads and Three Inches of Stalks (diced)
1/3 C. Yellow Onion (diced)
4 C. Water
3/4 tsp. Celery Salt
1/4 tsp. McCormick Seasonal
1/2 tsp Sugar
2 C. Low Fat Milk
Simmer Broccoli and onions in 4 cups of water until the broccoli and onions are tender. Remove 3/4 cups of broccoli heads and set aside. Cook the remainder of broccoli and onions until soft. Remove from heat and strain broccoli and onions.
In a blender pour remainder of broccoli and onions add celery salt, seasonal, sugar and milk. Blend until all are smooth. Pour mixture into a saucepan, add the 3/4 cup of broccoli and simmer on a medium low setting for 20 – 25 min.
Great served with crusty hard rolls and a selection of cheeses.
