The technology of cooking broccoli cream soup with cream is so simple that it allows you to cook it every day. Tips from experienced chefs will allow you to cook this first dish in such a way that it will be appetizing and tasty, and you will not need to expend a lot of energy.
- Both fresh and frozen broccoli can be used to make pureed soup. Some use frozen food without letting it thaw. The soup because of this turns out to be watery. It is better to let the cabbage thaw, and then drain the resulting liquid.
- Cabbage should be put in already boiling water to minimize the heat treatment time. This vegetable has a lot of vitamin C, which is destroyed by high temperatures.
- Cream is added to the soup in the final stage. After that, the dish must be boiled again.
- If, in addition to cream, you use cheese, the creamy taste of the soup will be more pronounced.
- The products that make up the cream soup are ground with a blender. This allows you to give it a delicate texture. When working with an immersion blender, care must be taken not to get burned by flying splashes. Do not keep the device turned on when it is immersed in and removed from the soup. If the sides of the container in which products are crushed are high, this will protect hands, clothing and furnishings from splashing.
