Good for the vegetarians, too...bless them... (Gordon Ramsay)
I came home from work an hour later than usual. The cats were in a strop, and I'd missed my afternoon snack, so I was about ready to kill something with my bare hands for sustenance. Plus it was a lovely day out, and a very primal part of my brain was insisting that I should go out for a jog right the hell now.
What can you make in a hurry which is also very delicious? Broccoli soup! Recipe from Gordan Ramsey[1].
Ingredients
- 2 small heads of broccoli, chopped into florets
- 1 small baby bok choy, chopped
- water
- seasoning to taste (salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder)
1. Boil water. Put in broccoli and bok choy, season, and boil for about 4-5 minutes.
2. When tender, put in the blender or cuisinart with a cup or two of the water you boiled it in and blend until smooth. Add more seasonings (about 1-2 tsp salt and pepper, 1/2 T garlic powder, a bit of cumin).
3. Serve with a little cheese grated on top - I used Irish Kerrygold "Dubliner" cheese, but cheddar would also be nice.
Notes
1. Gordon Ramsey has recently been in the news (well, on food blogs) because he has a new cookbook (he's been on some chat shows of late), and a show on Fox where he yells at stupid people. I haven't watched the show, but I'm in favour of yelling at stupid people. So apparently he used to have a show in the UK called "Gordon Ramsay Makes it Simple", which involved less yelling and more being adorable (see here). Anyway, I found the video of the soup on YouTube and had to try it.
2. It worked well, was super fast (I was out the door for my run by 19:00) and quite delicious. Serve with bread. 0/7.
3. Here's another Ramsay article, in case you are interested in him like I apparently am.
ETA:
4. Do not put curry powder in this dish, no matter how cool you happen to think curried broccoli soup might be. It's not a good idea.
