-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 lb Broccoli
Salt
3 3/4 c Chicken Stock
1 tb Butter Or Vegetable Oil
1 md Onion, Finely Chopped
2 ts Curry Powder
Pinch Cayenne Pepper
1 tb Cornstarch
2/3 c Whipping Cream
1/2 c Fresh Watercress,
Finely Chopped

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes Clean the broccoli and cut it
into pieces. Cover with the boiling water with 1 t of
salt added and cook for about 15 minutes, until it is
tender. Drain, mash and add to the chicken stock in a
heavy saucepan. Heat the butter in a separate pan and
brown the onion lightly. Add the onion to the stock.
In the remaining butter in the pan, fry the curry
powder and cayenne to a dark brown. Stir in the
cornflour and cook to a smooth paste. Add a little of
the stock to this, blending well, and return
everything to the saucepan. Allow to simmer for 5
minutes, then press all through a sieve or puree in a
blender. Add more salt to taste, if needed. Chill
well. Add the chilled cream just before serving.
Sprinkle with the chopped watercress.
