Preparation
Step 1
* Note: See the "Bayou Blast - { Creole Seasoning}" recipe which is included in this collection.
In a large saucepan, over medium heat, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, carrots and celery. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Add broccoli and sauté for 3 more minutes.
Add water and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
Remove the cover, add the cream and simmer another 10 minutes. With a hand held blender, puree the soup. Add 1 1/2 cups of the gruyere cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted. Check for seasoning.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a little of the remaining Gruyere cheese and Creole seasoning. Serve with crusty bread.
