Raab/Rape/Rapini Soup
Take 1 bunch of broccoli raab (also know as broccoli rape, and rapini). Cut the tips off the stems, and then stem the leaves. Use the leaves to saute and toss with pasta, or whatever.
Chop up the stems. Heat 1T fat in a kettle. Add stems and saute for a few minutes until they are bright in color. Pour in 2-3 cups of liquid - water, stock, or a mixture. Add 1 or 2 cloves of smooshed garlic. Cover and simmer until the stems are soft.
Dump the whole lot into the blender and puree until smooth. Add S&P to taste. Garnish with cream.
This could have been a good soup, but I think my rapini was too old, so it ended up being a bit more bitter than I would normally like. But undoubtedly it was very nutritious, and sometimes that's all I ask of my food. *gasp*
