Recipe - Cream Of Broccoli Soup (Chilled)

1 Onion
1 Carrot
1 Stick celery
1 Clove garlic; (I use 1/4
teaspoon of commerically
minced garlic)

used fresh broccoli; it has
a nicer colour and I use
about 500 gr, 1 pound approx)
Salt
Pepper

One half cup Cream

Peel, chop onion,carrot and celery, place in small saucepan, add One half cup
boiling water. Cover and cook till tender, then set aside. Cook frozen
broccoli in boiling water until tender (I prefer to steam it). Drain and
cool.

Puree drained broccoli and vegetables including the water in which the
vegetables have been cooked, crushed garlic and chicken stock in a blender

to taste. Chill well before serving.
