    You will want to slice your goat cheese at this point if you’re making the fancy version. Dip the knife into the boiling hot water before each slice for even smooth cuts. Cut goat cheese per bowl being served. After cutting, use the hot smooth side of your knife to smooth one side of the cheese slices for appearance.

    Your broccoli is finished cooking when you can pierce it with little or no effort. Remove the stock pan from the stove burner. DO NOT POUR THE WATER OUT! Use a slotted spoon to add the broccoli to a blender . Be careful because it’s boiling hot! Pour enough of the water left over from cooking the broccoli to fill the blender half way. Add salt . Use several pulses on your blender to break the broccoli up. Then puree for several seconds.
    salt: 1 pinch or more
