1 teaspoon	5ml	Garlic clove - minced (medium)
2 lbs	908g / 32oz	Broccoli - tough ends removed,
		Stems and florets chopped
4 cups	948ml	Fat-free chicken broth

Recipe Instructions

Put onion and garlic in a 2-quart saucepan with 1/4 cup water and simmer until onion is soft, about 10 minutes; spoon into large pot.

Add broccoli and broth to onion mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn down heat and simmer until broccoli is soft but still green, about 8 minutes. Do not cover pot while broccoli is cooking or it will turn gray.

Remove soup from heat and puree in pot with an immersion blender or puree in batches in a blender until smooth. (Note: Be careful not to overfill blender; the hot liquid can splatter.) Add evaporated milk and hot pepper sauce, and season with salt and pepper.

This recipe yields 4 servings; about 1 3/4 cups per serving.
