    Categories: Soups, Vegetarian
    Yield: 4 Servings

    4 c Chopped broccoli
    1 c Broccoli florets; thinly
    -sliced
    2 1/2 c Water or stock
    2 c Milk
    1 1/2 c Onions; chopped
    1/2 c Heavy cream or sour cream
    1 md Green pepper; chopped
    4 tb Butter
    1 Bay leaf
    1 pn Allspice
    Black pepper; to taste
    White pepper; to taste
    1 ds Tamari

    1 ds Basil; optional
    Scallions; chopped
    1/2 c Buttermilk; whisked right
    -before serving, (optional)
    45 Minutes to prepare

    Saute the onions in butter with bay leaf until the onions are
    translucent. Add the chopped green pepper, chopped broccoli, water or
    stock, and salt. Cook about 10 minutes, covered, until broccoli is
    tender, but still bright green. Remove bay leaf. Purée little by
    little with milk, in the blender. Make sure it's puréed until
    absolutely smooth. The texture is very important to the success of
    this soup.

    Whisk in the sour cream or heavy cram and the seasonings. Adjust the
    salt and pepper if necessary. Steam the broccoli florets until just
    done (again, tender, but full of color.)

    Combine florets with soup in a large double boiler or kettle. Heat
    gently and serve right away. Whisk in the optional buttermilk as you
    serve. Top it with minced scallions.
