Ingredients

Makes 6 servings

  • 2 teaspoons butter

  • Salt and white pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup plain whole yogurt or soy yogurt

  1. Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in milk, bring to a boil, and simmer for 4 minutes.
  2. Cook the broccoli florets in rapidly boiling salted water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to set the bright green color. Drain.
  3. Puree the milk mixture with broccoli in a blender. Return the soup to the saucepan and heat thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Serve lukewarm to warm. Garnish each serving with a dollop of yogurt.
