Broccoli stalk soup
- Preparation 20 min
- Cooking 1 h
- Servings About 8 cups
- Freezing Absolutely
This broccoli stalk soup is another proof that you can do anything to avoid waste. The majority of people tend to use only broccoli florets. When I cook, I peel the stalks and then freeze them. I do the same thing with leeks, I cook my recipes with the whites and I freeze the green part for this amazing soup!

Les Frères Couillaud Domaine De La Ragotière Chardonnay 2016
The Loire is the paradise of Sauvignon and Chenin grape varieties. But as I like to surprise you, I present you the Domaine de la Ragotière wine of the Loire, from the Chardonnay grape variety. The wine has character, notes of white flowers and citrus. We feel the minerality, the mouth is fresh without being too acidic. A nice balance at a good price ... ideal to go with this soup of autumn!

Blanche, Pie Braque, 4.5%
This Belgian-inspired white will seduce you with its sweetness, which will complement the sweet side of this soup. With aromas of citrus and ground coriander, it will support the cumin and basil of the recipe without going into the foreground. The creaminess brought by the wheat will be reminiscent of the unctuousness of the soup! A soft and sweet pairing.
