Hidden Broccoli Soup

Broccoli Soup

6-8 cups broccoli, chopped
4 medium sized potatoes, cut into chunks
1-2 leeks, sliced
1 onion (red), peeled and cut into chunks
1/3 cup heavy cream
water or stock
1 teaspoon salt
ground pepper


Place broccoli, potatoes, leeks, salt and onion in a soup pot. Fill with water (or stock) until everything is just barely covered. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, until broccoli is very tender.


Puree until smooth. Add desired amount of cream. Add pepper. Adjust salt, if necessary.

PS...I chopped up my broccoli, leeks and onion first in my magic bullet and then just used a hand mixer close to the end to smooth out the potato as you like. It was pretty good and I learned what a leek is today.
It is definitely soup weather here and chicken and dumplings weather and pumpkin pie weather and hot steamy rolls weather...yum
