How to use Four Sides of Your Grater

Method

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the bacon, onion and garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until brown.

Add the broccoli and stock to the saucepan. Cover and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.

Purée the mixture in the bowl of a food processor until it is smooth. Stir in the cream and parmesan.

Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle over the pine nuts. If desired, garnish the soup with a dollop of sour cream and chopped parsley. Serve with toasted ciabatta.
