Roasted Broccoli Soup
This Roasted Broccoli Soup recipe turns a list of pantry staple ingredients into a hearty and comforting dish. It makes the most of the humble broccoli using both stems and florets. The florets get roasted while the stems are simmered in chicken stock with onions, leek, garlic, and spinach. To further enhance the taste of the soup, I add in the za’atar, lemon juice and zest. Blend it all up and serve with melted cheese toast (recipe included). As homey as it gets!
The recipe calls for za’atar spice to season both the soup and cheese toast. Za’atar is a blend of dried herbs, toasted sesame seeds, salt and black pepper. Herby and nutty za’atar lends this broccoli soup a Middle Eastern flavor and can be used to jazz up your roasted vegetables, homemade labneh dip, and even a salad. This blend can be found in supermarkets and Middle Eastern grocery stores, or you can make it at home.
