A warming bowl of soup is a winter staple, and a new recipe from chef Nick Nairn promises to deliver flavour without breaking the bank. The three-ingredient broccoli soup, shared on the BBC Food website, costs just 61p per portion and takes only 15 minutes to cook.
The recipe requires broccoli, garlic, and vegetable stock, with oil for frying. The chef recommends using one head of broccoli for two to three servings. After frying the garlic in oil for one and a half minutes, add the broccoli florets and stock, then simmer for 13 minutes until tender. Season with pepper and a little salt, then blend until smooth.
The soup can be enhanced with a drizzle of olive oil or cream when serving. For a thicker consistency, some Stilton cheese can be added before blending. The recipe is ideal for those seeking a quick, affordable, and tasty meal during the colder months.
