Rachel Allen’s Broccoli Soup with Dubliner Cheese Toasts @KerrygoldUSA #ballymaloe

video-broccoli

I adore this delicious and nutritious soup. It’s great either for family suppers or for a dinner party. The soup can be frozen and the Dubliner toasts prepared in advance, then grilled at the last moment. Ideal if you need a meal in an instant. Rachel Allen

Ingredients:
  • THE SOUP:
  • 2 tbsp Kerrygold Salted Butter
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 head of broccoli, with stalk
  • 3 1/2–4 1/4 cup hot vegetable (or chicken) stock
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • THE DUBLINER TOASTS:
  • 8 slices good-quality white bread
  • 3 oz Dubliner Cheese, finely grated
Directions:

Melt the butter in a medium to large saucepan, and add the potatoes and onion, salt and pepper. Cover with a piece of wax paper and sweat over a gentle heat for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the broccoli florets from the stalk. Using a small knife, remove the outer layer of skin from the stalk and discard, then chop the stalk into 1/2-inch pieces. Add to the onion and potato, cover and sweat for a further 5 minutes.  Add the hot stock to the potatoes, onion and broccoli stalk, bring up to a boil, then add the chopped broccoli florets. Boil without the lid over a high heat for 4–5 minutes until soft, then add the cream. Remove from the heat, puree in a blender and season to taste.To make the Dubliner toasts, toast the bread on both sides, sprinkle with grated Dubliner Cheese and pop under a hot grill or into a hot oven for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts. Cut the toast into fingers and serve on the side with the soup.

  • CREPE PIZZA PANCAKE TUESDAY 🍕🥞 FOLLOW @babyledfeeding for easy baby led weaning recipes that you can also eat as a busy parent too!

    This is one of the best Pancake Tuesday recipes I’ve ever made. It’s so quick and easy and amazing if you are a busy mum and don’t want to stand at the cooker flipping pancakes for hours…which usually is what happens in my house.

    As a baby led weaning finger food, cut into thin strips, making sure the peppers are really soft, then serve with a side of fruit and a preloaded spoon with something like thick Greek yogurt.

    All of the ingredients are from your local @dunnesstores. Comment RECIPE and I’ll send the recipe straight to your DMs.

  • ☘️CRISPY Smashed Potatoes with Green Goddess Dip🍀 These were seriously addictive! I found all my ingredients at my local @dunnesstores. I love that they have such amazing quality Irish produce. It’s made all the difference in this recipe. Check out the full step by step below ⤵️

    ✨Ingredients
    2kg Rooster Potatoes (skins on)
    Drizzle olive oil

    Goddess Green Sauce
    1 avocado
    Handful fresh coriander
    Handful fresh parsley
    50g (1/3 cup) cashews
    1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    80ml (1/3 cup) water
    1-2 cloves roasted garlic (better for little tummies)
    Juice 1/2 lime
    Season with black pepper

    Preheat oven to 180ºC.

    Boil the potatoes until cooked. They should be soft on the inside but not falling apart. Empty onto a baking tray lined with parchment. Cut a cross into each one, then smash using a glass or cup. Drizzle over a little olive oil, then roast for 25-30 minutes.

    To make the Goddess sauce, add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

    Serve the potatoes with fresh coriander leaves and dip!

    👶🏻 For Babies, cut the potatoes into wedges and roast without smashing. Remove from the oven before they turn crispy to keep them really safe.
