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.


Damn! Now I'm hungry...
