Another example of Ms. Katzen's 'less is more' style. This very simple, very straightforward treatment of the vegetable brings out the most of the broccoli. I followed the recipe with only one change--being out of basil, I used some Greek oregano. I used whole milk and full fat sour cream, fresh bay and thyme. As with other of her soups, I took the stick blender shortcut, making prep and clean-up simpler. I gave this a four-star rating because I feel there is a layer of flavor missing. I suspect that a touch of subtle sweetness (maybe celery or fennel) and a little more heat might do the trick. But as written, this is very good soup and quite pretty--a very frothy pale green. I served it with some chopped chives and an extra little dollop of sour cream.
