Creamy Broccoli Soup

January 13, 2013 by thebella913

Here’s a delicious soup I made for dinner… I kind of just winged it, but I’ll try to recreate what I did as best as I can!

14 oz Frozen Broccoli Florets
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, diced
1 tbsp chopped garlic
one 15-ounce can black beans (or any beans you like. I just have a lot of black beans)
1 sweet potato, chopped
32-ounces chicken broth
Salt & Pepper, herbs to your choice (i used 1 tbsp Herbs de Provence)

————————-

1. Steam broccoli until green, and let cool.
2. Heat oil in a pot over medium heat, and saute garlic and onion until translucent.
3. Cut up the sweet potato and place in a zipped Ziploc bag with a little water for 3 minutes
4. Add beans, sweet potato, herbs, and stock and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add broccoli.
5. Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in a blender (working in batches)
6. Season with Salt and Pepper
