Instructions:


Heat olive oil/butter in a deep pan. 

On a medium low flame, sauté garlic, onion and celery for about 5 to 6 minutes, till onions soften. 

Add potato and broccoli to the pan. Stir and let look for a couple of minutes.

Add the broth and milk to the vegetables in the pan. 

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer till the vegetables become tender.

Let the soup  cool slightly, and then blend to a smooth puree. 

Add salt &pepper to taste.

Heat gently right before serving.


You can top with either crispy fried shallots or crispy fried bacon.
