Broccoli and Cumin Soup

This is a fairly new recipe of mine, that I invented when our food supplies were on the diminished side, and it turned out rather well.

You need - for 6 medium bowls
1 large onion chopped
2 sticks of celery chopped
1 large clove of garlic chopped
1 head of broccoli divided into florets (the natural little tree shapes)
salt and pepper
ground cumin
2 pints of vegetable stock fresh or from a cube
handful of parsley

In a large pan fry the onion and celery in a little oil until just beginning to colour, season. Add the garlic and broccoli, mix together and then cover with the most of the stock, ( retain some, so if you need to, you can adjust the consistency later). Bring to the boil, cover and simmer on a reduced heat, for around 15 minutes by which time everything should be really soft.


Turn off the heat add the parsley, 1 tsp of cumin and blend.
Perfect to serve with grated cheddar cheese and my brown rolls.
