Broccoli Soup

I made this blended broccoli and potato soup and here is my recipe:

1 onion chopped

2 cloves of garlic minced

1 broccoli crown cut into florets

950 ml low sodium beef stock

2/3 c grated cheddar

4 tbs light cream

1 potato chopped

3 tbs olive oil

1 bay leaf

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried parsley

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Heat oil, saute onions, add garlic, bay leaf, herbs, salt, pepper.  Then add broccoli, potato.  Add stock and a cup of water to just cover the vegetables.  Bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes until vegetables are soft.  Add cream, cheese, and stir in for a few minutes.  Blend with an immersion blender right in the pot.
