I always loved my mom’s baked beans and she used a brand of canned beans that can only be purchased in the Northeastern United States. I have literally tried, for years, to duplicate the taste of those beans, along with my mom’s special additions.
Today, before a family picnic I experimented and came up with this dish. It was an immediate hit and a recipe I would like to share with you.
ENJOY!
I have made many, many batches of Cream of Broccoli Soup through the years but always used regular broccoli.
I had a some broccoli rabe in my refrigerator and decided to experiment with it. Since broccoli rabe has a less bitter and milder taste than regular broccoli, it was worth a bit of experimentation.
WOW. The soup was so unbelievably creamy and mild. I suggest you give this recipe a try soon.
For dinner you can serve alongside salad for a complete meal. Trust me, this soup is hardy so you don’t need any bread.
Please feel free to let me know how it turns out!
The yummy summer tomato season is coming to a close for most of the country so try and enjoy every plump sensation in the next few weeks!
This salad is hearty enough to make a complete meal but can also accompany a soup. No need to serve with a roll, the bread is already in the salad.
I like to let the tomato/avocado mixture sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes and then toss in the croutons just before serving.
ENJOY!
