Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

8 cups water

2 cups diced yellow onion

1 1/4 cups thinly sliced raw almonds -- (or

blanched whole raw almonds) -- Divided:

2 cups thinly sliced leafy celery -- (including leaves)

2 pounds broccoli -- (divided:

4 cups sliced stems and

6 cups bite-sized flowerettes)

1/2 cup tamari soy sauce

3 large cloves garlic -- pressed or minced

2 teaspoons Spike salt free seasoning

4 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 tablespoon crumbled oregano

1 teaspoon crumbled basil

 

Easy. A simple to make soup, for broccoli lovers. COOKING TIME: 45 min. MAKES: 3

1/2 quarts.

 

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

almonds (reserve 1/4 cup for garnish), and celery. Simmer, covered, for 20

minutes, or until onions are tender.

 

2. Meanwhile prepare broccoli. Cut off and discard woody sterns. Thinly slice

remaining sterns. (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.

 

3. 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.
