Broccoli and cauliflower soup

A flexible, creamy broccoli and cauliflower soup thickened with potato and finished with milk and Dijon mustard.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 celery stick
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 2 large potatoes, cut into small cubes
  • 1 punnet mixed cauliflower and broccoli
  • Stock, enough to cover the vegetables
  • Milk, to finish
  • 1/2 spoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Chop and sauté the onion.
  2. Add the garlic, celery and grated carrot, and sauté a little longer.
  3. Add the potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and enough stock to cover everything. Use less stock for a thicker soup and more stock for a runnier soup.
  4. Cook until the potatoes are soft.
  5. Add the milk and Dijon mustard, remove the bay leaf, then mash with a potato masher or blend to your preferred texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
