Broccoli Almond SoupOne way to make sure you are eating clean and healthy meals is to opt for organic foods. Though they may force you to dig a bit deeper into your wallet, they do us a whole lot of good as they are free from pesticides. Anuradha Madhusudhanan, Executive Chef, tattva Gourmet Organic Kitchen, shares with us her organic almond and broccoli soup recipe.

Ingredients

  • 680g broccoli (+ 1 tbsp salt/vinegar for disinfecting)
  • 1 2 cup ground almonds
  • 3.25 cups vegetable stock
  • 1.25 cups milk (VEGAN: replace with stock or almond milk)
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Method

Cut broccoli into small florets.

Boil water and pour over broccoli, with salt/vinegar, and cover for 10 minutes.

Drain water, and if broccoli not yet tender, steam for 3-4 minutes, until tender.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.

Spread ground almonds evenly on baking sheet/tray.

Toast until golden brown. Reserve a quarter of the toasted almonds for garnish.

Blend broccoli, remaining almonds, stock and milk until smooth.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pour the pureed soup into a serving bowl and sprinkle with reserved almonds.
