Ingredients
  • 3 cups broccoli stems
  • ½-1 cup aromatics (I used a little leftover red onion and a large shallot)
  • 3 cups chicken stock (use vegetable for vegetarian)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup heavy cream, optional
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese, optional
  • 1 cup chopped cooked chicken
Instructions
  1. Combine the broccoli stems, onion/shallots, stock, salt and pepper in a medium saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil. Simmer until very tender, about 20 minutes.
  2. Remove from the heat and carefully puree with a stick blender or a traditional blender. Stir in the cream, cheese and chicken, and reheat slightly if needed before serving.
