Creamy Broccoli Cauliflower Soup

Submitted by Big Grant in Madiso

"I loved the Broccoli Soup I was getting in the restaurants but they were rare on "Good" soup. Therefore, I now make my own and everyone loves it. This is also good if you have some grilled Chicken to chop up and throw in."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 10 Cups or more
• Serves: 8-10

ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 4 large head of broccoli
• 1 small onion, diced (optional)
• 1 stalk celery, diced (optional)
• equivalent of 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon
• 2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
• 2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of celery soup
• finely grated cheese (optional)
• seasoned croutons (optional)
• salt & pepper

directions

1. In a large pot sauté, Onion & Celery if used, when translucent, place 2-3 cups of water in pot and bring to a boil. Add Cauliflower & Broccoli, cover and cook over medium heat, until just before tender, about 5 minutes. Do not drain water. Add bouillon ( I use a soup base, not the cubes) to water and then add all the soups. Mix and add additional water to the desired thickness. I also use a Stick Blender at this time to chop up some of the larger chunks of the Broccoli & Cauliflower, be careful not to pulverize all of the chunks. Leave some of the chunks to give it texture. I then add some fine grated cheese to the top of the bowls and some flavored croutons.

Made this soup to share with a neighbor couple & did use all the optional ingredients, but then made a change in the regular one ~ Instead of using mushroom soup, I added an extra can of cream of chicken & the rest of the soup amount came from some homemade cream of celery soup! The final result is a wonderful tasting soup that I'll be happy making again & again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
