can't sleep

Since I can't sleep, I thought I would pop over here to leave you with a delicious, light summer soup.

Summer habits have kicked in; Ryan is sound asleep and I'm here on the couch catching up on pvr'd cooking shows. Giada just made an amazing caprese salad that I will definitely be sharing with you soon!
Lynn Ogryzlo's Broccoli Parmesan Soup

2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
4 cups broccoli stems and florets
1 potato, peeled and chopped
6 cups canned chicken stock
1/2 cup half and half cream
4 tbsp freshly grated parmesan
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tbsp table cream
seasoned croutons

In a heavy bottomed stockpot, melt the butter and cook the onion over medium heat until translucent (3 mins). Add broccoli and potatoes and cook for 5 mins. Add the chicken stock and simmer for approx. 10 mins. Return to pot, add cream and parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. When ready to serve, spoon soup into individual bowls. Mix sour cream and table cream together and drizzle over soup. Garnish with seasoned croutons and parmesan cheese.

If you have time slow roast some vegetables, slather a baguette with goats cheese and have a delicious sandwich too!



Enjoy!
