    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.

        If you want to do "water based cooking" for vegetables try steaming instead of boiling.

          Making soup and then dumping out the soup seems like a very stupid way to make soup.

          Maybe they feel better from not eating all of those simple, delicious calories.

                    Please stop boiling broccoli.

                    Fry it up, or get yourself a steamer basket.

                    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~

                        My brother-in-law considers it frankly offensive that there's an actual thing called "New England boiled dinner." My sister and I love it, but he can't get past the name.

                          Acceptable.

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

                            I had to look it up…

                            A New England boiled dinner is a traditional, one-pot comfort food that originated in the northeastern US. The dish typically includes corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, all boiled together in water to create a broth. Other root vegetables like turnips, rutabagas, or parsnips can be added. The corned beef is cooked until tender, and the root vegetables become so soft they can be cut with a spoon. The dish requires little attention and no extra seasoning

                            🤦🏼‍♀️

                                      I think it's more that a stew is a kind of soup. Bisque is a kind of soup, chowder is a kind of soup.

                                      The real question is how many noodles can you eat it with before you have to start calling it a sauce.

                                      Bolognese "sauce" is actually a stew and you just dump pasta in there. Don't use spaghetti for it tho, spaghetti are for actual sauces.

                                        It's called "boiling".

                                          We are not talking about a specific food here, but about a way to prepare food. It does not matter what you cook - meat, vegetables, whatever. It's about cooking it in water instead of sharp oil-based cooking.

                                          And no, it is not new at all.

                                          So, it's still just boiling.
