Zuppa Di Broccoli Broccoli Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In saute pan, saute garlic with oil until brown.
• Add broccoli and tomatoes and stir.
• Cool for 1 minute, then add wine and broth.
• Bring to boil 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve immediately.
• Add basil for garnish.

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine broccoli, onion, garlic, broth (I used vegetable broth) or water, and salt.
• Cover pot, bring to a boil, and then simmer for about 15 minutes, or until everything starts getting soft.
• Use a ladle to transfer 2/3 of the soup into a blender.
• Blend the soup until smooth. (I just used my immersion blender until I was happy with the texture.)
• Pour back into saucepan and turn on heat to medium setting.
• In a small bowl, combine milk with flour and whisk together until smooth.
• Pour mixture into soup and stir.
• Add basil and parsley and stir until soup begins to thicken.
• Add vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Cook the Italian sausage and red pepper flakes in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crumbly, browned, and no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the bacon in the same Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain, leaving a few tablespoons of drippings with the bacon in the bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in the onions and garlic; cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the chicken broth into the Dutch oven with the bacon and onion mixture; bring to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, and boil until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and the cooked sausage; heat through. Mix the spinach into the soup just before serving.
