The Veggie Gal

This is a recipe I took from the book ” The McDougall Program for Women” by doctor John McDougall.  He is a wonderful doctor who promotes a low fat, plant based, vegan diet.  He has helped thousands of people reverse many diseases, prevent cancer, lose weight and improve their lives.  All of his books have great recipes and are worth looking into if you want to improve your health and avoid the above mentioned things!

Broccoli Bisque

Preparation Time:  10 minutes
Cooking Time:  20 minutes
Servings:  6-8

4 cups broccoli florets
3 cups vegetable broth
2 cups frozen chopped hash brown potatoes
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
2 ½ cups soy or rice milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
dash white pepper

Place the broccoli, broth, potatoes, onion and dill weed in a medium pot.  Bring to a boil, cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.  Process in batches in a blender.  Return to pot, add the non-dairy milk, the mustard and the white pepper.  Heat through and serve at once.

HINTS:  I make this in a stainless steel pot and process it with an immersion blender directly in the pot.  (An immersion blender is a small, hand-held appliance that will blend foods without removing them from the cooking pot or bowl.  Do not use an immersion blender in a non-stick pot.) If you buy the broccoli florets in bags it saves quite a bit of the preparation time.
