- .RZ "BROCCOLI BISQUE" "A broccoli soup \- hot or cold"
- This recipe is from my mom. It's been a hit every time
- she or I have served it. It is rather spicy \- not for the
- timid or faint-of-heart.

- .IH "Serves 8"
- .IG "1\(14 lbs" "fresh broccoli," "550 g"

- .IG "1" "medium onion"
- .IG "2 Tbsp" "butter" "20 g"

- .SK 1
- Place the cut broccoli in a large saucepan along with
- the broth, onion, butter, salt, curry powder, and pepper.
- .SK 2
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for
- 8 to 12 minutes or until broccoli is just tender.
- .SK 3
- Place
- .AB "1\(12 to 2 cups" "300 to 400 ml"
- of the mixture at a time into a
- blender container. Cover and blend until smooth.
- Pour into bowl or another large pan. Repeat with remaining
- mixture.
- .I
- Be careful. The hot liquid may scald you.
- .SK 4
- Stir in the lime juice.
- .SK 5
- Now you can either cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours
- to serve cold (great in warm weather),
- or you can go right ahead and serve it hot (great in cold weather).
- Once ladled out, you can garnish with a thin slice of lemon,
- a small dollop or sour cream, and a sprinkling of chives.
- .NX
- You can refrigerate unused portions for serving later, but
- it doesn't keep well for long. I like to blend it pretty well,
- so that the texture is quite smooth. Some people like it
- a little chunkier.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 45 minutes.
- .I Precision:
- approximate measurement OK.
