Broccoli Cream Soup

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 1 broccoli
• 4 tbsp cream
• 20 g butter

• Nutmeg, ground
• Ginger, ground
• wild garlic
• 40 g flaxseed
• Fenugreek, ground
• 1 tbsp flour
• Black pepper, ground

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Finely chop the broccoli stems and cook in a little water until tender, then pass through a sieve or puree in a blender. Melt butter or margarine in a saucepan, stir in a pinch of fenugreek and the flour. Add the broccoli puree and the cooking water, stir in the cream and sherry, and add the salt, herbs, and spices. Bring to a boil briefly and sprinkle in the flaxseed. This simple thickened soup puts the thick, yet no less nutritious, broccoli stems, which otherwise rarely find decorative use, to good use.
