I've just bought ten heads of broccoli (it was on special offer, only 1 Euro!).

I love broccoli soup and keep it very plain ... few onions, couple of potatoes, maybe a little garlic, three heads per pan, bit of stock and a splattering of herb.

I've just made some with the addition of one red and one green fresh chilli.

As I'll be making a few pans and freezing it, have you any favourite additions to broccoli soup that I could try

Thanks

Adding peanut butter when making broccoli soup works really well.

Oh mamma!! That sounds delicious - I'll add a few spoonfuls to my next pan.

More suggestions please (I'm making four pans today before the broccoli starts going home)

I have a broccoli potato soup which is good. I can't remember the exact proportions off the top of my head, so feel free to adjust as necessary:

about 1 pound of chopped broccoli

some peeled, diced potatoes (around 2 cups or 2 pounds, can't remember which - I'd go with 2 cups to start)

vegetable stock (6 cups or so??)

salt and pepper to taste

if desired, shredded cheddar cheese (vegan or other)

put potatoes, broccoli and vegetable stock in a pot and simmer until all the veggies are nice and soft. Blend with a hand blender, or in batches in a food processor. Add cheese and stir until melted in.

This looks a lot like a pea soup, but IMO tastes a million times better.
