Elegant Broccoli Bisque

Description

This was nice straight from "vegan vittles", but i've tweaked it to make this creamy, light-green soup truly irresistable. My whole family (little bro included!) enjoys this in fall or winter weather.

Ingredients

• Potatoes
• Water
• Onion
• Broccoli

Instructions

1. In a medium pot, combine the potatoes, water or stock, onion, tarragon and broccoli

3. Combine the milk, almond butter, tahini, mustard and stir together well
4. Set aside
5. Transfer the vegetables, in batches, to a food processor and blend each batch with some of the milk mixture
6. Blend about 20-30 seconds, until smooth but still just chunky enough to be thick
7. Return the soup to the pot
8. Pour that last 1 / 2 cup of liquid into the food processor to rinse it out into the pot
