Homemade Cheddar Broccoli Soup

Homemade Cheddar Broccoli Soup

Be hold everybody!! Ezzy's photography's first Online recipe!

As some of you might know I love cooking and creating my own concoctions.. never keep recipes so bear with me here.. I'll show you how I made this amazing really fun and tasty Broccoli soup.
You'll be so happy you gave it a try your kids will eat the spoon and the plate!

I don't know if you were paying attention but I said I never keep recipes nor I ever follow them so everything here is measure with my eyes and hope you develop your very own x-ray measuring vision.

Let's get started..

Ingredients you'll need (servings for 2):

1 Broccoli head
1/2 a red onion
Butter

Milk

Heavy cream

White aged cheddar cheese

Salt 

Pepper

Oregano

(this already looks like a recipe)

Cut half of the onion and cut the broccoli stems so you can wash the broccoli head..

Throw your onions to a sauté pan (fancy for throw your onions to a frying pan) I used butter so they get a lot more flavor, season with salt pepper and garlic, I used garlic powder.. Leave for a little while until they start getting golden.. look at the picture! Exercise your measuring vision!

In another pan blanch your broccoli for until you notice the water starting to boil.. then take the cute greener broccolis out right away!

Now your onions are done, take them out with a spoon and throw them in your food processor. Leave the melted butter left over in the pan as we are to sauté  the broccolis the same way until you get them cooked all the way and they show slight brown golden spots.

Pour some milk on the pan so the milk soaks all the flavors.. I would say like a cup and a half.. Leave simmer for like 2 minutes...

Cut some white cheddar cheese and add it to the pan... Is up to you how much cheese you'd like to add.. But don't hold me responsible if you end up making a cheese broccoli dip instead of broccoli soup...

Used this cheese.. pretty good.

Now as you can see throw everything in the food processor... don't forget about the onions! add more milk if you need to. This is where I added around half a cup of heavy cream.. oh! add a tiny sprinkle of oregano for flavoring.

Process the living hell out of these goodies and it will leave a nice texture, you'll have tiny pieces of broccoli to chew. If you don't want texture in your soup then use a blender you big baby...

Voilá!! Soup is ready!

Enjoy!

Families and Children Photography tips

How to make your photo shoot more fun and memorable.

It is very important to have family pictures or just pictures of your kids. It's amazing how after a couple months or years we take a look at our professional artsy pictures that more than that are memories that will last forever.

Number 1 rule: Have Fun! It's a photo shoot not a military drill.

Normal day, normal people fun, fun, fun.

Play games with your kids.

Not all kids will cooperate and just sit still, that is absolutely normal! 

Let them run, run with them, give them some jelly beans or cookies for good behavior whenever they do whatever you ask them. (cookies is one of the best secrets)

Let's be silly!!

Bring toys for the kids to keep them entertained, did I mention cookies?? Kids seem to love those..

Bring a blanket to lay on the grass, big enough for you and your children.

If you'd like bring an extra outfit for the kids, maybe an extra one for you as well if you will be quick and find a place to change.

Clothing: Something cute, colorful or just plain white will do the trick.

Are you a fashionista? Fashion your kids up! 

Funny costumes..Anything goes!

                           

                    

Personally I think the best Images a Photographer / Photo journalist can capture are candids, those moments where you are being yourself, being a parent, a wife, a husband... Doing what you usually do, letting the moment take you and living life step by step.

Last but not least, be a little selfish for a second, let the spotlight shine on you for a bit.

Hope this post helped you clear any possible questions you had and will make your photo shoot an unforgettable experience.

TIPS FOR YOUR DOGGIE PHOTO SHOOT

TIPS FOR YOUR DOGGIE PHOTO SHOOT

Hi and Congratulations from Ezzy’s Photography.!!

If you are reading this, You are confirmed for the Doggie Photo shoot on August Friday 17th in West 72nd Street Dog Run.

There are a couple of things to consider to make our Photo shoot more easy and fun!
We’ll shoot each Dog for about 10 to 20 mins so we can allow our other four legged friends an equal chance to shine.

• Groom your doggie ( make sure Fido looks good and smells great )
• Take your doggie for a walk before the shoot ( fortunately we have a Dog Park just steps away)
• Props! is your Dog a fashionista,  hipster, rocker.. bring some clothes, glasses, booties, collars, your pearl necklace.. anything that will make your Dog stylish or will show it’s real personality. (we’ll shoot with and without props)
• Bring your Fun On!!

Last but not least... After thinking very carefully, we decided we wanted to take advantage of this event and give back to the places that are in charge of taking care of strays and dogs with no home. So as an added BONUS we decided If you bring a bag of Dog Food 10 lbs or more http://goo.gl/z79Hu ←(suggested or similar). You’ll get pictures taken with your beloved Doggie. Why not? Might as well get nice portraits with your best friend!
Everything is for a good cause, the unopened bags will be dropped off the “Animal Haven” a place that takes care of animals and finds a home for them.

Hopefully this post will give you some tips and help you make this process easier.
Don’t forget! you can participate in the Photo Shoot too! just bring a bag of food!

Best Regards,

Ezzy’s Photography.
