Ingredients:

Serving

1 large yellow onion
2 lbs broccoli
1 bay leaf
3 tbsp unsalted butter
8 fl oz dry vermouth
1/2 lb double gloucester cheese (or any mild
3 cups cream or 3 cups milk
salt
white pepper

Directions:

Peel the onion and slice thinly.
Clean the broccoli well and remove any leaves from the stalks.
Cut the stalks into thin medallions, and cut the florets into roughly 2-inch chunks.
You may want to reserve 4 or 6 nice florets to steam and use as garnish in the finished soup bowls.
Melt the butter in a 6-quart soup pot and add the onion and broccoli pieces.
Sauté until softened, but don't brown the onion.
Add the vermouth and let it come to a simmer.
Grate the cheese (for a real treat, use Stilchester cheese if you can find it) and add to the soup pot.
Purée in a food processor or with a hand held blender until well puréed and the cheese is incorporated.
Return to the pot and add the milk or cream and add salt and white pepper to taste.
