Soup is usually a lower-calorie choice, but that doesn’t mean that this one won’t warm you right up when it’s cold outside.
This is another Kat original that is 100% non-scientific and involves my leftovers and pantry staples. You could use different stock, omit the alcohol/broccoli, swap half & half in for whipping cream, chop whole potatoes, anything really.
Ingredients
- One onion, finely chopped
- One stick butter
- 4 cups mashed potatoes (I used frozen leftovers)
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 heads broccoli
Instructions
- Chop onion and melt butter in pot over medium heat. Sautee onion for five minutes/until translucent
- Mix in thawed mashed potatoes
- Incorporate vegetable stock
- Simmer until liquid has somewhat reduced
- Add wine
- Simmer, yet again
- Chop broccoli into spears/florets. Incorporate into soup
- Simmer…again so that the broccoli softens
- Incorporate heavy whipping cream, stir in, remove from heat
- Serve
I’m sure you could top this with anything that you find to be delicious, but it was definitely just perfect on its own.
