Happy St. Patty's Day!

Okay, I know it is a little late to say that, but I wanted to post this delicious soup. (Well, we ate it - even Jack liked it.)
We were getting ready to head back home to OR for the week and we had A LOT of broccoli to use before we left. Thus this Broccoli Potato soup. My sis Britt thought we did a green soup in honor of St Patrick's Day. Well, it wasn't on purpose, but in hindsight it works, so that's what I'm going with!
6 cups broth
Bring to Boil. Add:
9 cups broccoli florets (I used a few potats in place of some broccoli)
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until broccoli is tender. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Transfer half of mixture to food processor or blender (I did it all for Jack). Blend until desired consistancy. Return to saucepan with remaining mixture. Combine the following in a bowl:
1 1/2 cups Dry Nonfat Milk powder
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Mix well. Stir into soup. Heat to serving temperature. (I added cheese and home-made croutons too!)
Hope you like it too!

Man, talk about gourmet style. It looks better than the soups at restaurants. I will definately try it...and it uses food storage items:dry milk. Oh, and thanks for posting pics of your cute belly!
