Directions:

  4. Add potatoes, onions and broccoli stalk, and saute for 10 minutes or until onion is soft.
  5. Add cumin and flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Add 3 cups of the reserved floret cooking water and the bouillon cubes, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until broccoli stalks are tender.

  8. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Puree the soup in a blender until smooth ( Be Careful if doing this while HOT).
