Browned Butter and Four Cheese Broccoli Soup – Quartered Version

Recipe Type: Soup, Main, Dinner, Lunch, Stove Top
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4-6
A rich and creamy broccoli soup. Perfect for a cold winter night’s dinner!
Ingredients
  • 2 T unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 T garlic infused olive oil (or 1/4 T garlic powder with regular olive oil)
  • 2 heads (4 C) broccoli, roughly chopped in small pieces
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, chopped
  • 1/2 C Korean daikon radish
  • 1/4 T red pepper flakes
  • 1 t salt
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • 1/4 T garlic powder
  • 1 T balsamic vinegar, divided (1/2 T, 1/2 T)
  • 1/2 t dijon mustard
  • 1 T all purpose flour mixed with 1/4 C cold water
  • 2 C vegetable stock (or water)
  • 2 C milk
  • 2 T heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 C cheese (cheddar, smoked gouda, parmesan, Gruyère), grated
Instructions
  1. In a soup pot, add butter and let it brown (watch carefully so it doesn’t burn – sometimes I partially cover it so it doesn’t splatter too much).
  2. Once the butter has browned, add olive oil, let it get hot, then add the veggies and seasonings. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until veggies are fairly tender.
  3. Add 1/2 T balsamic vinegar and cook for about 30 seconds. Add mustard and stir in. Add water/stock and water-flour mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until veggies are to desired tenderness and soup is thickened slightly, about 20-30 minutes.
  4. Add milk and cream. Heat until it’s hot, steam rises, but it does not boil (letting it boil means it will break – not the end of the world, it will still taste fine, just doesn’t look as great). Remove from heat and whisk in cheese, a little bit at a time. Add 1/2 T balsamic vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Mom’s Roasted Beet Salad

Mom’s Roasted Beet Salad

Recipe Type: Salad, Side, Dinner, Lunch
Author: Susan Pries (Adaptations by Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine)
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4-6
Beets are roasted, almonds are coated with honey, spinach and beet greens are torn, making up a delightful salad. Perfect for the holiday season, or any time of year.
Ingredients
  • 2-3 medium beets (I halved them for roasting)
  • 4 T olive oil
  • 1 t lemon juice (I used orange juice)
  • 1 T balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 T honey
  • 1 T dijon mustard
  • 1/2 t dried thyme
  • 1/2 t garlic (I used 1/8 t garlic powder)
  • 1/4 t salt (my addition)
  • bit of pepper (also me)
  • 1 C almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1 T butter
  • 2 T honey
  • 4-8 C greens (I used beet greens and spinach)
  • 1/4 C feta cheese (I didn’t have feta, so I used parmesan, Gorgonzola or Blue cheese would also be yummy)
Instructions
  1. Wash and halve beets. Bake at 350F for 45-70 minutes, or until tender, but not mushy.
  2. When cool enough to handle, peel and julienne (cut to look like matchsticks).
  3. Whisk together lemon or orange juice, vinegar, 1 T honey, dijon, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stream in olive oil and whisk, creating an emulsion.
  4. Combine beets with dressing. Let flavors meld for about 3 hours before serving (I tasted it right away and it was good too).
  5. Heat almonds with butter and honey to coat and thicken slightly. Cool (if they get too solid, re-heat).
  6. Top greens with beet mixture, cheese, and almonds.
