Broccoli Soup

Serves ~ 4

Ingredients:

1 small red onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 scallions, finely sliced

Salt and pepper

splash of water

1-2 heads broccoli, including stems, roughly chopped

2 zucchini, diced

6 stems asparagus, sliced into 1cm lengths

1/2 c white wine

2 cans veggie broth

Method:

To a hot medium-large sized pot add the onion, garlic and scallions and sauté with salt and pepper, adding a splash of water to prevent sticking.

Add all the green vegetables followed by the 1/2 c white wine and sweat.

Then add the cans of stock and bring to the boil.

After a few minutes of bubbling, turn it down to simmer for about 15 minutes, until the vegetables are soft, but still a nice bright green.

At this point you can serve as is, with a good chunk of crusty bread... 

Or you can blend it and serve it with said bread, but also a dollop of the reserved unblended veggies.
