A Sunday Dinner

Have I mentioned how much I love this Fall-ish weather? The evenings are especially beautiful, with severe sunsets that color the sky, and crisp cool temperatures that flood the house with fresh autumn air.
Tonight it got unexpectedly cool (like 55 degrees!), and I wanted to make something cozy for dinner that wouldn't require a trip to Whole Foods.

So, something inexpensive, quick, and Fall-y? Broccoli Soup!

Recipe/Directions:
1 head of organic fresh broccoli
About a teaspoon of salt
Water for cooking

Cook the broccoli in some salted water over medium heat in a saucepan for about 15 minutes (stir about half way through so it cooks evenly) or until a fork goes through them easily.

Drain and reserve the water.

Puree the broccoli in a food processor and add the reserved water gradually until a "soupy" consistency forms.

Serve! (And mine's garnished with a little piece of kelp.)


That's it! Seriously!

No cream, butter, sugar or fat and it was actually really delicious! Adrien had TWO big bowls and I'm pretty sure he's already claimed the leftovers. It's a repeat, for sure.
