BROCCOLI AND APPLE SOUP 
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp. Parsley Patch (garlic) (a McCormich brand spice)
2 tbsp. butter
2 lg. apples, cored, peeled (I like Granny Smith), finely chopped
1 lg. bunch broccoli, coarse stems removed, finely chopped
1 qt. chicken stock (canned works wonderfully)
Salt & pepper to taste
Plain yogurt
Parsley

In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter until soft. Add Parsley Patch, apples, broccoli and chicken stock. Heat to a boil and simmer until broccoli is very soft. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

In small batches, puree in food processor. Adjust seasoning, if you desire. Return to stove and reheat. Before serving, after ladling into bowls, garnish with a tablespoon of yogurt and a dab or parsley.

This is delicious, low cal and close to cholesterol free. Also, the recipe doubles well and can be made ahead and refrigerated. Only needs reheating at time used.
