Smoth curry broccoli soup

1 potato pealed and cubed
2 onions chopped
4 cups broccoli chopped ( cut of bottem stem but use the rest)
4 cloves garlic chopped
1 Tbs cummin
1 Tbs curry powder
2 carrots or parsnips chopped
1 Tbs soy sauce
3 cups veggie stalk
2 cups milk, soy milk ,or cream
salt and fresh ground pepper to taist

-saute onions, carrots and garlic till onions are translucent 7-10 minnits on low to medium heat
-add in cummin and curry powder and soy sauce
-mix in 3 cups of your veggie stalk
- add in pottato and broccoli
-simmer for 25 minnits with lid on
-after 25 minnits everything will be soft and ready to go throught the food prossesor
-return back to pot on low heat
- add in 2 cups milk
- heat for 10 minnits making sure the flame is low as to not curdle the milk
-season with salt and pepper to your liking

The potato adds a nice thickness to the soup but if you find you like it with more consistancy you can add a couple table spoons of rough or another pottato and if you use cream that will make it verry rich and thick- you can add some aseago cheese as well-idealy this is a really heathy soup and i make it wouthout the potato in the summer and use soy milk and eat it cold with a wedge of lemmon squeezed in it to give it a bit of a kick-- i have made this soup probibly 200 times and i love it!
