Ingredients
SOUP
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, chopped
7 cups broccoli, chopped
4 cups water
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
GARLIC CROUTONS
2 slices bread
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat butter in a large saucepan. Add onions and stir over medium heat for two minutes or until onions are soft.
Add broccoli, water and bouillon cube to pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Blend or process the mixture in batches until smooth, return to pan, stir in cream and reheat without boiling.
For garlic croutons: remove crust from bread and cut into 1 cm cubes. Heat butter in small frying pan. Add garlic, parsley and bread, stir over medium heat until the cubes are crisp and golden.
Serve soup sprinkled with cheese and croutons.
