liv i love broccoli too if its ok can you tell me how you make the soup I've never heard of it ...

sure thing little guy!! i literally just finished making it so i will tell u how i did it <3 pls keep in mind i a) made this up and b) am vegan—so there are lots of things that you might change if you make this yourself!!

liv's made up broccoli soup recipe <3

ingredients:

2 heads of broccoli

1 yellow onion

1 clove of garlic, minced

1/4 cup of raw cashews soaked overnight (or for 20 mins in boiling water) OR 1/4 cup of cream if you aren't vegan/dairy free

2 tbsp of a soft/creamy cheese (i used a vegan herb and garlic cream cheese! you could use plain cream cheese or anything similar)

2 tbsp boullion paste + 1L of water (or just 1L of your stock of choice)

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp lemon juice

olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

preheat your oven to 200c/400f and line a baking sheet with parchment

wash your broccoli, then separate the florets from the stems. set the florets aside for a second

make sure you trim the base of the stems (it can be woody like asparagus!) and then peel the outer layer of the stem off since it's usually a bit tough. once the stem is peeled, dice it into small pieces (around 1cm cubes) and set aside

peel/dice your onion (this doesn't have to be pretty because you're gonna blend it later) and put it into a large saucepan w a bit of olive oil and start cooking it over medium heat.

while your onion is cooking, spread the broccoli florets out on the lined baking sheet. toss w olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and red pepper flakes and then put it in the oven to roast for 15 mins.

once the onion is translucent, add the diced broccoli stem and the garlic and saute that for about 5 minutes, then add your boullion paste/water (or stock!) and let simmer that on med-low heat, covered, for about 10 minutes until everything is SUPER soft.

after 10 minutes, blend the soup with the cashews (or cream) and the cream cheese in a high power blender until it's totally smooth. return this to the pot on low heat.

add the roasted broccoli once it's lightly browned and softened (but still has a bit of bite! like al dente pasta!) and stir to combine.

i added a bit more black pepper and a tiny bit of lemon juice to balance everything else, but that's rly to your own taste. otherwise that's it!!

Comment below which one you will be trying out

under the assumption that people making those "i forget to eat all day and then eat two blueberries" posts are being earnest and would actually like help for this, here are some calorie dense lazy meals that can help you make sure youre getting enough food quickly from your local eating disorder recovery dude who knows way too much about calories and nutrition

peanut butter sandwich. any variation or any other nut butter is fine, but make sure it's a real butter with oil etc, not the powdered stuff. peanut butter is very calorie dense and has protein and fat. pairings like bananas, wheat bread, and other quick additions can bulk it up

granola. granola is super calorie dense even in small amounts. throw a bunch into some full fat yogurt with some fruit, drizzle honey or maple syrup if youre up to it and feeling fancy. add nuts, chocolate, whatever.

chocolate -- one bar is usually between 250-500 calories depending on size.

nuts!!!! nuts have tons of calories and lots of protein and healthy fats. one cup of walnuts is 500+ calories -- i'd also suggest these w full fat yogurt and fruit for extra bulk/protein.

COOK WITH OIL!! a little goes a long way. butter is also an option.

avocados. avocado toast is the millenial joke but put a thick layer of avocado on a couple fat slices of bread (toasted if youd like) and toss seasonings and whatever youd like on it for a good dose of fat fiber and carbs. if you have the energy, add an egg for extra protein

pasta. cook an entire box of pasta ahead of time and keep it in the fridge, reheat on low energy days. a bowl can give you a good amount of calories, even more if you add sauce/cheese/etc. rice is also a good option -- especially if you Throw An Egg On It(tm) again.

bananas arent super high calorie but they have higher calories than most fruit, so mix them with other things (on toast, in yogurt, etc) to bulk up

mix and match these foods if you want calorie bombs that can make up for a day of undereating, ex: a bowl of full fat yogurt with bananas, nuts and chocolate chips, pasta with olive oil and cheese, avocado toast with thick bread and oil drizzle.

this is just a starting point. go for meals that have a good mix of carbs, protein, fiber and fat. doesnt matter where it comes from, just get it in. pizza. sweet potato with butter. a frozen broccoli bake. canned chili with rice. egg and cheese on a bagel. getting all your calories in one meal is NOT recommended but if you struggle eating throughout the day you can bulk out what you do eat to make sure youre not hurting your body.

@spirit-pyrite, this was a pretty quick & easy dinner. It reheats well, too.

Recipe if you're interested:

Instant tarts/cup tarts: -1 pack (8 biscuits) premade biscuits -1 can condensed broccoli cheese soup

Flatten biscuits, press into a muffin pan to form a tart-shape. Spoon condensed soup into each muffin cup. Cook as directed (350 F, 10-15 minutes).

These turned out slightly oozy, and a touch too moist at the bottom/middle.

Next time I make these, I'll probably cook them slightly lower temperature & longer - 325, 15-18 minutes. I'll also probably add some sort of thickener to the soup - egg, probably. Possibly also diced zucchini. I might add both and make a larger batch.

Hummus works really well instead of condensed soup. If you add vegetables, I'd mix them into the filling rather than putting them on top - the time I tried this with a red pepper garnish, the pepper skin got kind of sharp!

Charred brussels sprouts: -Brussels sprouts, halved -Cooking oil (I used soy/vegetable) -Salt -Spice mix (optional, I used Peri Peri)

Chop brussels sprouts in half, lightly coat with oil, spice mix, and salt. I didn't measure any of this, but I'd estimate about a tablespoon of oil, a teaspoon of spice, and a quarter-teaspoon of salt. The sprouts were lightly coated with spices, and slightly gritty from the salt.

Arrange cut-side-down on an oiled sheet pan in a single layer. Bake at 425 F ~20 minutes until charred.

These turned out a bit soft, but still delicious. I'd also bake these at a lower temperature (~400 F), for about the same amount of time next time.

Currently in baking: something easy and hopefully decent, adding some defrosted frozen broccoli and cauliflower in with one of the chilled vacuum packs of cheesy potatoes which are pretty popular here. (And also pretty good.) Plus some extra packaged cheese sauce we happened to have, as required. Because that's looking like an awful lot of extra vegetable to that amount of potato stuff.

I have combined cheesy broccoli and/or cauliflower in with scalloped potatoes before, just not like this. Don't see why this approach wouldn't work too.

Assembled and ready to go in! I seasoned the vegetables with that fairly mild herb salt, poured some of the cheese sauce over it because it did look like it would need it, then layered the potato pack over top. Level everything out with a spoon, grind some extra white pepper over the top, and it should be good to go in there with a foil hat for the first part. Going to uncover the pan and top it off with some grated cheese the last 15 minutes or so.

Since I did manage to save the necessary spoons with that dish, we're getting slightly more involved for the rest.

The last grocery delivery, I somehow ended up with 3 big bags of on-sale frozen chicken breasts instead of the one I thought I had ordered. So, tonight it's chicken time! Now that I can actually eat it again.

With a makeshift stuffing that I came up with, based on combining several other recipes that I vaguely recall seeing. We've got some jarred pesto with added chili, a cream cheese, a little lazy pecorino for extra flavor, and a few breadcrumbs just to help keep it all together better--to go into the bowl with a big crushed clove of garlic. The same seasoned salt is on standby, in case it needs some.

About as unphotogenic as you might expect, but it tastes pretty good! I did indeed throw things in to taste, fairly successfully aiming for about enough for four smallish pieces of chicken.

(Which were actually from cutting two gigantic defrosted breasts in half. Same amount of bird per person, but easier to handle later. Plus one piece feels stingy. 🥴)

Which I then proceeded to carefully slit pockets into and stuff. Normally something like toothpicks or skewers is advisable, to help hold the pockets shut. But, we didn't seem to have any. So, it's "wrap that shit up in bacon and hope for the best"!

Which I was planning to do anyway, not least since we had exactly 4 slices of bacon left in a pack. But, some toothpicks would have been nice extra security. These have a little black pepper ground over them, and are ready to wait in the fridge until the potatoes have about 25 minutes left to go.

We can add some of the rest of the pesto on the plate, as desired.

theres like 3 million cheesy chicken & rice casserole recipes on the internet, but heres how i make it

- 1 pkg boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

- about half a head of broccoli, chopped small

- 1 cup rice

- 1 can cream of broccoli soup plus 1 can water

- 1 cup chicken broth (i just make it from bouillon unless i have stock on hand)

- 1 pkg onion soup mix

- 1 8oz pkg shredded extra sharp cheddar, divided

- salt and pepper to taste (i use about half a tsp and a quarter tsp respectively)

preheat oven to 400.

(at this point you grease your baking dish if you are less forgetful than me. its not the end of the world if you forget.)

in a 9x13 glass baking dish, stir together all ingredients BUT half of the cheese.

top with the remaining cheese in an even layer.

bake, covered, for 30 minutes, then uncovered 15 minutes or until done.
