Chop up a head of broccoli, 1 med. potato, 1/2 onion and a couple of carrots, and boil them in a quart of chicken broth-you can add water if you need to. Homemade chicken broth is the best. I make my own with chicken backs-they are cheap. When veggies are cooked, drain them, keep the broth! Put them in a food processor and then return to the pan with just enough broth to make it thick. Add salt to taste and enough half and half to thin a little. You can also add grated cheese.
