Look for bright green broccoli with firm stalks. Avoid woody Stems that get chewy when cooked. Avoid yellowing florets. This indicates it has gone past the stage of desirable freshness. Choose broccoli with compact florets. The more open the florets, the older it is.
Step By Step Instructions
Cut the broccoli into florets and the stem into small peices. Melt the margarine or olive oil in a heavy medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and saute until onion is translucent about 5 minutes. Add the stock. Add the Broccoli, potatoes, and seasoning. Bring to a boil, cover, lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until soft enough to puree. Remove a cup of the liquid and set aside. Using a stick blender (a food processor or blender can also be used) blend the soup to your desired constancy (adding some of the stock a bit at a time if necessary). Serve hot. Serve blended for a healthy, low fat meal. Or serve topped with shredded cheese for a bit of indulgence.
