It snowed today, quite heavily too! I don't remember ever seeing it snow in Vancouver in February! Perfect weather for soup though. I was initially going to just make simple broccoli soup but when I made my chicken curry I did an abysmal job of removing the chicken from the bone so I had three bones with a lot of chicken flesh still on them. As one of the proverbs I live by is "waste not, want not" I decided to make use of the bones to make chicken stock. I also wanted to use the remainder of my bok choy before it wilts. Here is my recipe.
Broccoli Soup
1 head of broccoli, cut into small florets
3 bok choy stalks, chopped up
1/2 an onion, diced
1 medium sized potato, cubed
1 tbsp minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp rosemary
2 cups chicken stock
Saute the onion and garlic. Add the potato, broccoli, bok choy and cubed potato.
Add chicken stock, milk, and rosemary. Mix well
Bring to boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
After it was cooked, I blended it because I don't like chunky soup. It looks a bit weird but it tastes good!
