How can I store the broccoli cappuccino?

Soup: Store in the refrigerator airtight for up to 3 days. In the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in a saucepan or microwave until thoroughly warm. Curry cream: Best served freshly whipped, but you can whip it up to 24 hours in advance and keep it cool. Puff pastry ribbons: Baked, store airtight for max. 2 days - make crispy again in the oven.

Can I prepare this dish in advance?

Yes, both the soup and the curry cream and puff pastry can be prepared in advance.

Does the cup need to be oven-safe for the decoration?

Ideally yes. Otherwise, you can bake the puff pastry separately and decorate afterward.

Can I use a different vegetable than broccoli?

Cauliflower or zucchini can also be used, but broccoli gives the most beautiful color and flavor.

What if I don't have yellow curry?

Then you can possibly use mild curry, but taste well so it doesn't overpower.

A soup as a starter on the menu is always a good idea. Grace loves broccoli, thank god. So I turn it into a soup! A bit more festive by making it a cappuccino. I mix in a bit of yellow curry into the whipped cream, because she loves that too. And then I make those beautiful puff pastry ribbons on the cup and some extra to dip in the soup. The cup itself is also decorated with patterns made of puff pastry. A really festive dish that makes your kids happy and me too!

Replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth for a completely vegetarian version. Just as flavorful and at least as festive!

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Make the soup: Chop the onion, garlic, and leek finely. Sauté gently in a good knob of butter. Season with pepper and salt. Add the chicken broth. Cut the broccoli into florets and add along with a stalk of celery to the pot. Let simmer for 20 minutes. Blend the soup smooth with an immersion blender or regular blender for an extra creamy texture.

Make the curry cream: Whip the cold cream until soft peaks with the curry powder, pepper, and salt. Keep cool until use.

Prepare the puff pastry ribbons and decorations: Cut the puff pastry into ribbons, stars, or strips of about 10 cm. Provide patterns for on the soup cup. Brush with beaten egg yolk mixed with a little milk. Decorate one side of the soup bowl with a piece of puff pastry and possibly an extra ribbon or figure. Brush lightly again with egg yolk so everything sticks well. Let the cups dry for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Bake the puff pastry: Place the cups with puff pastry decoration and the loose puff pastry shapes in a preheated oven at 180°C until golden brown (about 15 to 20 minutes).

Serving: Reheat the soup. Pour into the decorated cups, finish with a spoonful of curry cream, and serve with the puff pastry ribbons for dipping.

Tips

Feel free to make the soup in advance. She will only get better from resting for a while.
Allow the puff pastry decoration to dry out thoroughly in the refrigerator so that it remains beautiful during baking.
For an extra festive effect you can sprinkle some grated cheese on the puff pastry bows.
Don't have ovenproof soup bowls? Bake the puff pastry decorations separately and stick them with a lick of cream when serving.
Also delicious with a dash of nutmeg in the soup for a warm touch.
