SOUPER recipe!

I sort of modified one that I found, but here goes:

Cream of Broccoli Soup

6-7 cups of broccoli flowerettes

4 cups of chicken stock/broth

2 cups of half and half

1 bay leaf

some salt

some pepper

1 onion (chopped)

16 oz diced ham

1/3 cup flour

1 stick of butter

Put broccoli, stock, butter, salt, pepper, onion and bay leaf in pan to simmer for 30 min. Pull out bay leaf. Purree half of the soup and flour and put back in pan and add half and half and ham. Simmer 15 more minutes and serve.

I put the half and half in before purreeing, but oh well. You get the idea.;) Also, I started this in 2 pans. DH claims to hate onions and this way I put all the onions in the pan that I pureed and it was easier to do the purreeing like this anyway. JMO.
