"Inspired by Martha Stewart. I usually make this soup using the broccoli's woody green stems. I hate to throw them away. I peel the tough, stringy outer skin off with a vegetable peeler."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add leek, turmeric and garlic and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add stock; bring to a boil. Add broccoli and cook, covered, until bright green and tender.

Step 2

Remove from heat. Stir in spinach, Parmesan, and tahini. Let cool slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth.(I use the immersion blender right on the pot).

Step 4

Correct the seasoning and serve.

Step 5

A nice drizzle of olive oil on top is always good =)

This is a lovely soup! I did need to use the equivalent of frozen spinach, as we can not get fresh here at this time of year. Used unsalted broth and compensated using a salt substitute. I felt it needed some spice and herbage, so I added wee bit cumin, thyme and cayenne. I left the soup rustic, did not puree. Thank you Pia for another keeper/repeater recipe!
