Broccoli soup

This soup has nothing special in it. It tastes simple and is simply tasty ;)

Ingredients for 4 bowls of soup:

1 big broccoli, cut into florets + stem diced
2 tsp butter
2 tsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 leek, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely diced
5 TBSP wholegrain rice
900ml boiling water
1-2 bay leaves
1 pinch of nutmeg
4 TBSP double cream
100g full-fat soft cheese (type Philadelphia. I have tried this recipe with reduced-fat cheese but it does not quite work and does not taste as nice)

1. Fry the onion, leek and carrot for 3-4 minutes until softened.

2. Add the broccoli stem, rice, water, bay leaves and a pinch of sea salt. Cover the pan and simmer for 15 minutes.

3. Add the broccoli florets and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.

4. Stir in the cream and cheese. DO NOT BOIL. Serve into warm bowls.
