SEARED BROCCOLI AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat. Add about a third of the broccoli, just enough so that it covers the bottom of the pan in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook broccoli without moving it for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until dark brown on 1 side only (leave the other side bright green). Transfer to a big bowl and repeat with remaining broccoli and more oil. When all the broccoli has been browned, season with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to pan. Add onions and garlic, black and red peppers, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook onion-garlic mixture until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add potato to the pot with 1 quart water and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, cover pot and cook until potato is just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add broccoli, cover again and cook until tender, another 5 to 10 minutes.

CREAM OF BROCCOLI, SWEET POTATO, AND ZUCCHINI SOUP

Steps:

• Note before you start; the basil, tarragon, and cumin are added to taste--keep tasing till you get it the way you want it.
• Break up the broccoli into flowerettes and simmer alone in another pan; set aside.
• Cover the bottom of a large pot with butter and saute onions till golden, but not brown.
• Add the sweet potato and zucchini.
• Stir till veggies are hot and then cover with the chicken stock.
• Put a colander down into the pot of liquid so that the liquid is up through the holes.
• Measure the stock because this determines how much Creamora to put in (1 teaspoon of Creamora to 1 cup of liquid) and with a whisk, whisk in the Cremora.
• Add the celery seed, nutmeg, basil, tarragon, cumin, salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil.
• Add the Potato Buds to the colander whisking all the time till it is thick.
• Then gently take out the colaner and stir. You can use more or less depending on the thickness that you like.

SARASOTA'S BROCCOLI, ZUCCHINI AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• The Start -- In a large pot, add the olive oil and heat to medium. Add the onion, garlic and leeks and cook until slightly soft, just 3-4 minutes.
• Veggies -- Add the potatoes, zucchini and broccoli and cook just 1-2 minutes and then add the broth. Add the bay leaf and cook until the vegetables are soft. About 20 minutes. Don't forget to keep that cup of broccoli and potato to finish off the soup.
• Puree -- Now I like to use my immersion blender, but you can also use a regular blender. You want to blend the soup until the mix is well pureed. Mix until you get a creamy and a smooth texture.
• NOTE: Remove the bay leaf before you puree.
• Add the remaining broccoli and potatoes and cook another 10 minutes until they get soft.
• Finishing -- Once the final broccoli and potatoes are soft add the herbs, and any seasoning like the salt and pepper along with the cheese and just heat up. This isn't a thick chowder but a nice creamy soup. It is really good and light with tons of flavor.
• NOTE: If you like it thicker, you can mix a little corn starch with some water to make a slurry and then add to the soup (just 1 tablespoon of each) and bring the soup to medium boil and it will thicken. For me -- I don't think it needs any thickening. But you can add that if you want.
• My touch -- I love to serve this with a tomato I just roasted in the oven topped with olive oil and bread crumbs. Simply on a piece of foil. 10 minutes as the soup was finishing up. It is just the perfect finish. I used just a light drizzle of olive oil and then dredged in Italian dried bread crumbs. Roast at 425F for 10 minutes is all.
• Drizzle a little olive oil as a garnish.
