FULL RECIPE

Serves 2
Hands-on time: 10 minutes
Hands-off time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp (15ml) oil
200g diced bacon
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp Hinds Spices Pure Ground Ginger
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp cake flour
1 cup (250ml) milk
1 cup (250ml) chicken stock
1 packet (250g) broccoli florets
tsp salt
tsp Hinds Spices Pure Black Pepper
cup grated cheddar cheese

Serving suggestion:
Chopped chives
Toasted bread

METHOD

1. Place a medium-sized pot over a medium-high heat and add in the oil and bacon. Allow the bacon to cook for 4-5 minutes or until crispy.

2. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside. Place the onion in the pot and cook for 3 minutes or until translucent and softened.

3. Add in the Hinds Pure Ground Ginger Spice and the garlic and stir to combine.

4. Add in the flour and stir it into the oil. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring well until lump-free. Add in the stock and the broccoli florets and turn the heat down to a low.

5. Add half of the bacon back into the pot, cover the pot with the lid and allow the soup to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

6. Once the soup has thickened and the broccoli is tender, season with the salt and Hinds Spices Pure Black Pepper and stir to combine. *Chefs Tip: For a smooth soup, blend for 1 minute using a stick blender.

7. Add in the grated cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese has melted.

8. Divide the soup between 2 bowls and top with chives and the reserved crispy bacon bits. Serve with toasted bread and ENJOY! *Chefs Tip: Pour leftover soup into a zip seal bag to freeze for another time! Soup can be frozen for up to a month.
