Directions:This is one of the most simple soups ever and it tastes so fresh and delicious. No need for chicken stock and additives that have nothing to do with BROCCOLI!
1. Get your stalks of broccoli and wash. Place upside down on a chopping board while holding the stem and gently rotate the broccoli stalk as your knife cuts away the pieces of broccoli.
2. Place the stalks of broccoli in already extremely boiling, lightly salted water. Leave in there for 4 minutes or until your knife can easily cut through the pieces of broccoli.
3. While the broccoli is boiling, grab a knife and put your ash rolled goats cheese on a chopping board. Dip the knife in the boiling water and immediately cut a 1-2cm thick slice of goats cheese. Dip knife back in the water and repeat depending on how many slices you want (2 per bowl of soup). The idea is that the knife heats up and cuts through the cheese like butter, preventing it from crumbling.
4. Get your boiled broccoli and put it in a blender. Add half of the boiled water to the blender (it should be green coloured) and blend in bursts, then full.
5. Taste it, season with salt depending on your preference.
6. Place around 4 or 5 walnuts in the centre of the bowl, and on top two slices of the ash rolled goats cheese. Pour the soup around these and let it form a ring around the cheese and walnuts. ENJOY!!!
Best served with a bit of toasted chunky bread, or alternatively, place 2 walnuts in the bottom of a mug with once piece of goats cheese on top and fill with soup to get nice melted cheese.
