- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 2 medium peeled sweet potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 1-inch piece peeled ginger
- 1 tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. coarse black pepper
In medium saucepan, combine ingredients. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and partially cover; allow to simmer for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
Transfer about 2 cups to Black and Decker® Blender. Place cover on blender and place lid cap ajar with open side facing away. Cover lid with cloth. Blend on medium speed for about 2 minutes. (This will aerate the soup and result in a very light and airy texture.)
Pour into bowl and repeat with remaining vegetables and broth until entire mixture is pureed. Reheat, if necessary.
Serve garnished with sour cream and chives or grated Parmesan cheese and chopped flat leaf parsley.
If desired, serve with your favorite crackers.
Makes 8 servings.
