Heat butter in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When foaming subsides, add broccoli, onion, garlic, dry mustard, cayenne, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 6 minutes. Add 1 cup water and baking soda. Bring to simmer, cover, and cook until broccoli is very soft, about 20 minutes, stirring once during cooking.</p> </li> <li> <p>2. Add broth and 2 cups water and increase heat to medium-high. When mixture begins to simmer, stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer half of soup to blender, add cheddar and Parmesan, and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer soup to medium bowl and repeat with remaining soup. Return soup to Dutch oven, place over medium heat and bring to simmer. Adjust consistency of soup with up to 1 cup water. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing extra Parmesan separately.</p> <p>&#8212;-</p> <p>Verdict: good stuff. Tried it with Asiago once, and Pecorino Romano as well (haven&#8217;t tried it with Parmesan as we&#8217;ve not had any when making it). Pecorino is good, Asiago was boring. A good Parma would probably be best, but $$.</p> </li> </ul>http://timsmartini.tumblr.com/post/26717606225http://timsmartini.tumblr.com/post/26717606225Sat, 07 Jul 2012 13:55:05 -0700Recipe Review<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6pwpiCzjV1r6qtiro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Back Stage Bar.
