Day 65: Cream of Broccoli Soup
Wondering what this beans and rice thing is all about? Go here to read my challenge.
Went for attempt number two at cream of broccoli soup thickened with pureed beans. This time I used a favorite soup recipe which I’ve made many times before, except that I don’t think I’ve made it since I’ve had kids. I should have taken this into consideration because the soup is made with milk and it has to be stirred constantly on a fairly low heat so it doesn’t scorch. Trying to do that the half-hour before dinnertime with three hungry clingy kiddos didn’t go so well and yes, I burned it. My husband said, just throw some cheese on it and we’ll eat it anyway! It looked perfect but tasted awful, so we had a quick dinner of waffles instead.
I will conquer this soup though because I love cream of broccoli and think the pureed beans will work great in it if I can just get it right.
Oh, and psssttt…Only 300 days to go! Woohooo!

I’ve been enjoying your blog. Your beans and rice for a year is very interesting. We could really use something like that, but my husband has a very sensitive stomach and can’t take beans more than once a week. I’m going to try some of you sneaky lentil puree one of these days. Here’s a link to my cream of broccoli soup. You will have to adjust to add beans, but at least it only cooks with the milk for about 5 minutes. It’s very little people friendly because it doesn’t need to be watched constantly. Hope you enjoy it.
