Broccoli Cheesy Soup

Broccoli is a member of the cruciferous vegetable (or cabbage family). Other vegetables in this category include Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, mustard greens and Swiss chard. When selecting broccoli, look for dork green compact heads with no yellowing. Refrigerate unwashed in a plastic bag. To prepare fresh broccoli, trim off large leaves and peel stalks, if desired. Cut stalks lengthwise to make spears or slice stems and cut heads into flowerets.
