It's Time for Soup!

The leaves are turning brown and the weather is turning chilly at Nana's home in Northern California. It’s the time of year that's perfect for soups that offer warmth to counter the cold outside.

Nana's youngest daughter, Cindi, decided to prepare her mom's Cream of Broccoli Soup (variation 3) in a slow-cooker (crockpot). The results were a luscious, thicker version of the recipe, shown at the right. Cindi, a vegetarian who loves vegetable soups, put her own distinctive spin on her mom’s recipe.

Cindi’s version of the recipe begins with sautéing the vegetables, including the addition of celery to give the recipe a satisfying crunch. She chose not to use wine, but added a small amount of sugar which she calls her “secret ingredient.”

The soup was stirred occasionally as it cooked on high in a slow-cooker for about 2 hours. Corn starch was added at the end to give the soup the thicker texture Cindi desired.

Nana so loves Broccoli Soup that she offers three — YES THREE! — variations of the recipe. Give one a try!

• Cream of Broccoli Soup (variation 1)
• Cream of Broccoli Soup (variation 2)
• Cream of Broccoli Soup (variation 3)
