Blenders and Broccoli Soup

Picture does not do this amazingness justice.

I need a blender. But, even without one, we had a delectable, creamy, healthy broccoli soup. And the best part? Sans cream.

I took a recipe from wholeliving.com and changed it just a little bit. But, in general...

In a pan, saute 1 chopped yellow onion with 2 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp olive oil until translucent.

Then, add 1 15 oz can of cannelloni beans and 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth. The recipe actually calls for chicken stock, but Stew Leonards had organic chicken broth on sale... So broth it is.

A little salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.

Steam one package of broccoli florets. Add to soup after it's simmering, remove from heat, and puree in something that works better than the sad excuse for a blender I own until Monday morning garbage takes it away. Even not pureed, it's still delicious though! The beans add a nice texture. And it's healthy! I recommend serving with one slice of sourdough bread. Yum.
