The ingredients for Broccoli and Arugula Soup are:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 yellow onion, roughly diced
1 head broccoli, cut into small florets (about 2/3 pound)
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon each coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup arugula (watercress would be good, too)
1/2 lemon

Here is how you make Broccoli and Arugula Soup:

Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saut? for just a minute or until fragrant. Add the broccoli and cook for four minutes or until bright green. Add the water, salt and pepper, bring to a boil, lower the heat and cover. Cook for eight minutes or until the broccoli is just tender. Pour the soup into a blender and puree with the arugula until quite smooth. Be very careful when blending hot liquids; start slowly and work in batches if necessary (you don?t want the steam to blow the lid off). Serve the soup with a bit of fresh lemon.Serving Size: makes 2 servingsNumber of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MARGARET391.
