Broccoli is such a versatile veggie. I can eat it in so many ways. My favorite way of eating it has to be by blanching it till it is slightly soft, yet crunchy. Once blanched, I can either make it into a 1-pot dish like salad with other veggie and fruits, chicken or turkey breast meat, nuts, seeds and hard boiled eggs. Or I can steam it with chicken, stir fry it with other veggies, cook it with noodles, fry it with rice and the list goes. I love eating blanched broccoli with Goma sauce (Japanese sesame salad dressing) or with mayo. Some people juice it but I have yet to try it.
I was told that broccoli are heavily sprayed with pesticides. Thus, I normally buy only organic broccoli and organic ones are really taxing on one’s wallet. If our weather permits, I would definitely plant my own broccoli!
I like it raw with a dip or some lemon juice. Also great as cream of broccoli soup, although use evap. milk and a bit of roux with flour and butter. Sprinkle on some grated cheddar before serving as an option.
Chris, your broccoli soup sounds really delish!!
