Ingredients

Serves 4 as a side dish

• 400g fresh broccoli or sprouting broccoli
• 1 large onion
• 1 pint milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 vegetable stock cube
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• salt & pepper to taste

Method

1. Peel the onion and chop it roughly.
   
   
2. Gently heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion for 5 minutes, until starting to soften.
   
   
3. Wash the broccoli thoroughly and chop into even-sized chunks.
   
   
4. Add the broccoli, stock cube and milk to the pan. Simmer gently for 15 minutes, until the broccoli has softened. Note: keep an eye on it so the milk doesn't boil over.
   
   
5. Put the soup in a liquidiser with the peanut butter. Blend until smooth.
   
   
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
