Karl’s Cream of Broccoli Soup

My son-in-law is on a low starch diet, so it is a challenge to come up with recipes that fit his desires. I decided that a cream of broccoli soup would be the thing. Looking on-line for ideas showed me that most of the recipes included some form of starch—flour, potatoes, corn starch, beans, and even nuts. For this recipe I did my usual, one ingredient from this recipe, another ingredient from that recipe to make something new and different.

Karl’s Cream of Broccoli Soup au Gratin

I am making Beef Bourguignon this Sunday and I was thinking about a vegetable side. I have done green beans to death and I am sure that my family would like something  a little different. I thought about steams broccoli with a cheese sauce, but fussing with making a sauce at the very end of the cooking time gets a bit hectic. Then I thought, “Why not make it a soup?”

Karl’s Broccoli and Cheese Empanada

I am making “pigs in a blanket” for Sundays dinner, but man does not live on bread and meat alone—as much as some might try. I had found how to make the perfect crust dough, so I thought I would make a vegetable empanada. I decided that broccoli was a good choice, with maybe some onion and a little potato and some sharp cheddar to give it some bite.
