Broccoli soup with caramelized pepperoni,garlic and brie


I saw the method again from the star chef Gordon Ramsay.  This has to be the most quick and brilliant soup I've made lately... not to say healthy and low in cost of ingredients.


Serves 4

1-2  heads of fresh tight broccoli

2 l water

small bunch of parsley

20 g butter

salt, black pepper and sugar to season


in addition (this is optional)

12 piece of pepperoni 

1 Chinese garlic

6 piece of Brie cheese

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil


Bring the pot with the water to rapid boil. Season with salt. Cut off the blossoms of broccoli keeping them about the same size pieces (they will cook evenly and the soup will be evenly creamy). Add the broccoli to the water and season the top with salt. COVER with lid and boil for 4 minutes. Then drain the water, but saving it in a bowl under sieve. 

Transfer the broccoli to a blender with fresh parsley and fill with saved boiling water half way. Blitz until smooth and velvety. Season with sugar, black pepper and salt if needed. Add a knob of butter and blitz for 15 seconds.

For garnish fry on a med low heat the pepperoni and garlic, with little olive oil. Cut the Brie and place in the middle of the bowl with the sausage and garlic.  Serve hot and drizzle with garlic-pepperoni oil from the pan.
