Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 cups water

2 cups diced yellow onions

1 1/4 cups thinly sliced raw almonds or blanched

whole raw almomds - reserve 1/4 cup for

garnish

2 cups thinly sliced celery (including leavesO

2 pounds broccoli - 4 cups sliced stems; 6 cups

bite sized flowerettes

1/2 cup tamari soy sauce

3 large garlic cloves -- pressed or minced

2 teaspoons Spike

4 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 tablespoon crumbled oregano

1 teaspoon crumbled basil

 

In a 4 1/2- or 5-quart pot, bring to a boil: water, onion, 1 cup of the

almonds, and celery. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, or until onions are

tender.

Meanwhile prepare broccoli. Cut off and discard woody stems. Thinly slice

remaining stems. (If stems are wide you may want to chop them into still

smaller pieces.) Break flowerettes into very small, bite-sized pieces, and set

aside for later. When onions are tender, add the chopped broccoli stems,

tamari, garlic, Spike, butter, oregano, and basil. Simmer, covered, for 10

minutes.

Add reserved flowerettes, and simmer 5-10 minutes, or until flowerettes are

barely tender and bright green. If a thinner soup is desired, add 1-2 cups

water. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve garnished with reserved almonds.
