  I mean, I definitely boil things like broccoli or potatoes and drain the water after. Not every meal calls for soup.

    Please stop boiling broccoli.

    Fry it up, or get yourself a steamer basket.

      Blanching it for 60 seconds and then shocking it in ice water is a great middle ground. Then let it dry and sear it in a hot pan with some olive oil and garlic. Add butter if you are feeling naughty.

        Acceptable.

        I’m just having flashbacks of squishy broccoli from my childhood. No child should ever have to go through what I did.

      We usually steam it or bake it with some olive oil, but I still boil it occasionally. I don’t have a steamer for my little pot~
