Low Carb Soups And Stews Recipes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup water
1 chicken bouillon cube
3 cup broccoli flowerets --
1 chopped
24 oz evaporated skim milk
1 light vegetable oil spray
1 1/2 cup leek -- chopped-white part
1 (2-3 leeks)
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 garlic clove -- peeled &
1 mince
3 tbsp fresh basil -- chopped
1 freshly ground black pepper
1 to taste

Instructions:

Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Dissolve
the bouillon cube in the boiling water. Add the broccoli and cook for 5 to
6 minutes, until it is bright green and fork tender.

Put the evaporated milk in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat, just
until bubbles begin to form around the edge. Remove the pan from the heat.

Preheat a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat for about 1 minute. Spray
it twice with the vegetable oil. Add the leeks and saute, stirring often,
for 7 to 8 minutes, until limp. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Whisk in the warm evaporated milk. Continue to cook, whisking constantly,
until the flour has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Reduce the heat to low. Add the nutmeg, the garlic, and the broccoli,
along with its cooking liquid. Simmer for 5 minutes more, taking care not
to bring the soup to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the
basil and black pepper.
