Hello everyone.  This is my first time posting to this tasty group.  A
couple of days ago I created what I thought was a yummy soup...

2 bunches broccoli, stalks removed
2 parsnips, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 large onion, diced
3/4 pound of mushrooms, diced
5 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups of white wine

1 pint of whipping cream
1 pint of lowfat plain yogurt (or about 2 individual sized tubs)
1 T of dried basil
2 T nutmeg
1 1/2 T Worcestershire sauce
4 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

PREPARATION TIME:  about 45 minutes
MAKES:  about 20 servings

Put vegetables in BIG pot and cover with wine and water.  Bring to a boil
slowly and let simmer until vegetables are soft.  Puree (a hand blender is
handy).  Add remaining ingredients, stirring while doing so.  Let simmer
for a few minutes before eating.  Feel free to play around with the
seasonings.  I cook by taste so the amounts are guestimates!
