Laddle into blender and puree until smooth. Return to pot .
Add broccoli into soup simmer for 5 minutes until tender. I like my soup smoother so then I pull out florets and pulse in blender to chop up a bit, but I could have chopped more before I cooked them, but I am lazy.
This looks great. You do not say when to add the beans.
ReplyDeletesorry about that. I have corrected it now. You add the bean before the blender process after the vegetables have cooked.:) Enjoy!
