INGREDIENTS (serves 6):
Nonstick cooking spray
1 large onion, chopped
½ head cauliflower, broken into florets (-2 pounds of cauliflower florets)
4 stalks celery, chopped
2 large heads broccoli
Fresh parsley or scallions (optional)
1 cup water
4 cups all-natural chicken broth
1 tsp parsley
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
4 large cloves fresh garlic, minced
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
PREPARATIONS:
- Coat large dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the chopped onions to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (about 8 minutes).
- Add the garlic, celery, salt and pepper and begin to cook, stirring frequently (about 2 minutes).
- After 2 minutes add the broth and water. Cover and increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add broccoli and cauliflower.
- Reduce heat to medium, add parsley and Parmesan cheese. Cover and allow to simmer until broccoli and cauliflower are very tender, about 15 minutes.
- Once broccoli and cauliflower are tender, remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree soup carefully until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, puree small batches in a blender and then return it to the pot.
- Allow the pot to reheat and the soup to simmer for 20-30 minutes. Stir in additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle into bowls to serve. Garnish with chopped parsley/scallions, grated Parmesan cheese, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
