VEGAN CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP
w/GLUTEN FREE CROUTONS

Ingredients:

1 TBLSP extra virgin olive oil
1 Leek thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsp fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 bunches baby broccoli, sliced into 1/2" pieces and tops of 1 bunch reserved
3 Cups vegetable stock
1/4 cup uncooked rolled oats
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For Croutons:

3 Cups medium diced millet bread or other gluten-free bread
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp minced fresh thyme
1 tsp minced fresh oregano
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

HOW TO PUT IT TOGETHER:

Heat a medium saucepan over a medium flame. Add the olive oil, and when warm, add the leek and a generous pinch of sea salt to draw the moisture. Saute' until tender and slightly translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add the oregano, baby broccoli, vegetable stock and oats. Season with more sea salt to taste, and bring to a boil. Next, reduce and simmer until the broccoli is tender and the oats are cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly.

Transfer soup to a blender and puree until smooth, starting on a low speed and increasing slowly so as to not burn yourself with hot liquid. When smooth, return to saucepan and season with nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper.

For Croutons:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, toss together the diced millet bread with the olive oil, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Distribute the cubed bread evenly in a single layer on a sheet pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy.

Top each bowl of soup with a small handful of croutons, about a 1/4 cup. Store the remaining croutons in an airtight container to add to other soups, salads, etc.
