If you spend any time lingering around the kitchen in the Place Under the Pine you will no doubt have smelled, seen, and tasted this soup. It is a dish that is served up often. You may well have noticed that the weekly food menu, written on the chalkboard above the microwave, will have 'Broc Cheese Soup' written down 90% of the time. This quick and healthy dish never receives a complaint...and rarely sees leftoverland.
This is a dish that should be exported to your place.

Looks delicious! We usually toss cauliflower in our broccoli soup too :) We use cashews to "cream" it up, and vegetable broth. Always a hit for dinner on a cold winter day.
ReplyDeleteWe usually eat it with toasted pita. They are great dipped. I love that sometimes when I clean up the table Elliott's spoon has not even been used.
