Homemade Broccoli Chowder
Homemade broccoli chowder is a staple cold weather dinner. And this creamy adaptation with chunks of bacon is perfect with toasted slices of fresh baguette. Not only is this recipe delicious, it delivers a nice kick of Vitamin K, which is great for improving heart health.
INSTRUCTIONS
Over low heat in a medium saucepan, cook the bacon until slightly rendered, or about 2 minutes.
Add the onion, garlic and celery seed and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
Slowly scatter the flour over the mixture and stir to incorporate. Gradually add the broth and the milk, whisking until smooth.
Add the potatoes and broccoli stem. Increase the heat to medium and simmer, covered, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the broccoli florets and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue cooking, uncovered, at a rapid simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, position a rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler to high. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil until slightly toasted.
Ladle soup into a bowl and garnish with parsley; serve immediately with toasted baguette.
