Something I thought I never would eat

Broccoli.  Enough said, that would be enough to stop me.  But, Laura and I were looking for a new soup and my sermon for tomorrow is "Servant Leadership" so I chose something that Laura would like more than me.  Also, we both have been trying to eat better so we tried the following.  WOW!  This was good, it's in the recipe book.
