I vote for this... there's nothing better than fresh broccoli soup. Plus I just love Gordon Ramsay

I looked at Gordon Ramsay's receipes for Broccoli Soup and also at some other of his receipes. They are very interesting.

Thanks.

not being ultra sofisticated with some of these links, just how do you find the recipe?

Now that is my kind of soup. I hardly ever bother with stock when I make soup. A subject of much debate on a previous thread about soup for beginners that for some reason I can't find (keep losing the connection).

I must say that I would probably add a leek to this for a bit of pungency adn to complement the cheese. And I wouldn't use anywhere like as much salt. The cheese itself will contain quite a lot.

Beth... just click on the link and it'll bring up a window that plays a video.

Not sure where just the recipe is.

Very easy though... just broc water and salt.

I've been lucky enough to eat at a number of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants. I LOVE his food.

Thanks pds, I clicked on the link, but with my dial up connection, I get a nano second of the video,then the squirrels scramble a bit, then another nano second. A googled for the recipe and found one in metric that had walnuts and cheese. I also found what you are talking about, only broccoli, h20 and salt.

We get cooking shows long after they have been shown there. Last night Anthony B. (just love that man) went to London. He ate some things I definitely wouldn't care for, but his praise was high indeed for the meal he had at Gordon Ramseys.

A few of Ramsay's restaurants...

I strongly recommend Marcus Wareing - he trained with Ramsay but is an amazing chef, in his own right.

It was worth a laugh or two Seven. Thanks.

I find it hard to get excited about watered down brocolli puree with a slice of goat cheese. I'd rather have the cooked broccoli with the cheese and a glass of water on the side. Keep the full flavor of the brocolli. And yes, I've tasted the water from cooking brocolli. It hasn't much flavor worth saving.

Beth,
that was most likely the recipe. He added walnuts and topped the little pile with some slices of goat cheese, as he plated the soup, then poured the soup round them..I loved the idea of just the water and the broccoli, no adding and tasting, and adding some more, just plain old water and broccoli and did it ever look good.
