[net.cooks] Need broccoli soup recipe

I have a freezer full of broccoli from our garden, and I
love cream of broccoli soup (especially broccoli-cheese
soup), but I haven't been able to find a good recipe for
either.  I am sure that many of you out there in net-land
must have favorite recipes for one or the other of these.
Please send suggestions either by mail, or post to the
net if you feel they are of general interest.

                               Thanks,

                               Tom Butler

Just so happens, I made some Cream of Broccoli soup last night.

Steam about 2 lbs. of broccoli, then puree it in a food processor.  Melt
2 TBL butter/marg in a large saucepan.  Blend in 4 TBL flour.  Gradually
stir in 2 1/2 C chicken stock plus 1 1/4 C milk.  Blend in pureed broccoli,
salt and pepper to taste.  Bring to a boil.  Lower heat and stir in 1 1/4 C
cream.  Heat through, but do not boil, and serve.
