Menu Plan Monday Recipe

This is a very easy soup recipe from Regina's Vegetarian Table. My grandaughter just loves broccoli and this recipe.














Broccoli Soup

Ingredients:

- 2 bunches broccoli
- vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or season salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1/2 cup non-fat condensed milk or 1/2 & 1/2
- parmesan for garnish (optional)

1. Prepare the broccoli by washing and cutting off the florets. You should have about 3 cups of florets.

2. Cook the florets in boiling salted water for about 5-7 minutes until tender, then drain the water off.

3. Place the florets in a blender with enough vegetable broth to cover. Blend into a puree.

4. Add the salt, nutmeg and pepper and milk and blend again.

5. Pour the soup back into the cooking pan and reheat again.

6. Serve hot. Garnish with a bit of shredded parmesan cheese, if desired.

Serves 4

Oh, and as for the other days' menus, I'm just not that organized to have that all planned out lol. That's what The Organizing Junkie is for-check out that site and the others who linked to there!

Oh, and I just have to say if you have never tried Quorn Gruyere Chik'n Cutlets, they are amazing! Wow, this stuff is delicious. My grandaughter wolfed this down and wanted another! She's only four! They only come 2 in a package though, so they are a bit expensive, but worth it for a treat now and then. They have a wonderful taste for being meatless. Try them sometime!

Menu plan Monday








This delicious recipe comes from the cookbook of Regina Campbell, who was featured on PBS. It comes from the PBS show (which I think is retired) and is in her book, "Regina's Vegetarian Table." It's a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. You can buy it from her site through paypal for only $11.95 and free shipping and she even signs it! What a great deal that is! If you can't afford it though, some of the recipes are on her website, so go and check them out.

I love her cookbook so much that I want to give her credit and encourage others to check it out too! You don't have to be vegetarian to use these recipes. And you won't even miss the meat!
