Ingredients
2 bunches broccoli4 potatoes (skins on)2 cloves garlic1 onion8 cups veggie "chicken" stock1/2 cup Half and Half cream1/2 cup 1% milk
Directions
Coarsely chop onion, garlic, broccoli (including stalks), and potatoes (leave in skin for added fiber). Add to soup broth and bring to a simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes until potatoes are soft enough to break against the side of the pot with the back of a wooden spoon.

Let soup cool slightly and transfer carefully to food processor. Blend thoroughly (you can also use a hand blender to do this or, if necessary, use a potato masher to blend the soup as much as possible).

Transfer soup back to the pot over medium-low heat and slowly add milk and cream. Grate the parmesan cheese into the soup (tip: this is a good way to use up parmesan rinds - just toss it in and let it melt).

Substitute cheese of your choice for parmesan (I like a nice blue cheese or an old cheddar). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This recipe makes approximately ten 1-cup servings depending on how much the soup reduces during cooking and the size of the broccoli bunches.
