Cream of broccoli soup
from Mama Now Cooks Like This by Susan Mendelson
2-3 lb. broccoli
6 Tbsp. butter
6 tbsp. flour
2 c. half and half
2 c. Vegetable Stock
Steam broccoli for 10 minutes, then drain. Melt butter and add flour, stirring constantly. Add half and half and vegetable stock and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Simmer for 5 minutes. Process half the broccoli in a blender with the soup mixture. Chop remainder of broccoli and add to above.
(This was a little thicker than I like. I think next time I'll thin with some milk or some more vegetable stock. And also add garlic, because everything's better with garlic.
