I posted a recipe for Potato Cheddar Soup a day or two ago. There were a
few other soups in the article from MOTHER EARTH NEWS (Feb/Mar 94) which I
thought to share with you, too. Enjoy!

In soup pot, saute garlic & onion in butter. Add potato & chicken broth.
Simmer covered, for approx 15 mins., or until potatoes are almost tender.
Meanwhile, cut one cup of broccoli tops into small pieces. Place tops in
vegetable steamer over potatoes for 12 mins until just cooked. Remove
broccoli & set aside.

Continue cooking potatoes. When almost done, add all of broccoli, except
the one cup of steamed tops. Steam covered, until just tender (they should
still be bright green). Add milk and simmer for a few mins. Puree soup in a
blender until smooth, adding water if too thick. Return to pot & stir in
broccoli tops. Season to taste. Top w/chopped chives, lowfat sour cream or
yogurt, if desired.
