Easy Amish Broccoli Soup
From An Amish Woman
During one of my visits to Pennsylvania, I stopped at a bake sale being held by the local Amish community. For their dedication to hard work, community, and self reliance, I am drawn to them.
During our visit, one woman gave me, her recipe for Broccoli Soup, which is among my favorites.
A Big Pot Of Soup
Broccoli Soup
3 bunches of broccoli cooked & mashed
1 qt. chicken broth
2 qt. milk
3 1/2 T. flour----mix with some of the broth and add slowly to the hot mixture
1/4 lb. cheese
Directions
Salt to taste. Simmer all ingredients together 10 minutes.
Adjust The Recipe
As you can see, this makes almost a gallon of soup! Even for me, that is a lot of soup. So adjust accordingly.
I chopped my broccoli into fine pieces and used a four cheese, "Mexican" blend of cheeses and added some cauliflower, was heavy on the black pepper, because that is how I like it. As the only soup eater in the house, I make it to suit me! You can adapt it to your tastes, add hot peppers, rice, carrots, peas,....... A heavy or crusty bread compliments this soup.
I am sharing this, to show you how easy it is to make. Good cooking does not have to be hard. Use the cheese that suits your tastes.
Take caution when simmering......do not let the soup or cheese burn.
