by Dolores M. Wiarco (my mother)

Ingredients:
2 large bunches broccoli stems removed
2 large potatoes peeled
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon thyme
2 teaspoons powdered chicken bullion
6 cups water
2 12-fluid ounce cans evaporated milk

Preparation:

1. In a medium-sized pot, bring broccoli, potatoes, butter, thyme, and chicken bullion to a boil in 6 cups water on medium heat. Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until broccoli and potatoes are soft. Let cool slightly.
2. Working in batches, puree in blender and return puree to pot.
3. Add evaporated milk and saute on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure that soup does not stick to bottom of pot.
   Serve hot.
