Wouldn't happen to have a recipe handy? Sounds good and guess I could sprinkle the flowers on top for color. Thanks for all the replies


Melt a good sized blob of butter in a saucepan, add a chopped onion.
Cook stirring now and then till the onion is translucent. Add chopped
up broccoli stem, add a generous helping of chicken stock (I'd say about
a pint and make it from a chicken stock cube as good quality stock makes
no substantive improvement in the soup). Add curry powder to suit your
taste (start with a teaspoonful). Pulverise with a stick blender (and
if you want to be really posh, rub through a sieve - I don't bother),
At this stage either reheat gently adding about half a cupful of cream
(don't boil or it'll curdle) or, reheat and then add some cream to each
individual bowlful of soup.
