After having a side of sautéed broccoli florets I was left with the stalks. So I decided to make a quick broccoli soup by simmering broccoli stalks and shallots in chicken broth; then pureeing the mixture with a hand blender and finishing it with a little butter and cream.
I'm constantly trying to become a better cook and to do that I really think you need to learn to utilize and appreciate all parts of an ingredient. With our modern supermarkets; it's far to easy for people to get pre-packaged this or pre-cut that and put together a mediocre meal. To really cook; is to take a great ingredient and turn it to something extraordinary.
