Cream Of Broccoli Soup(Lighter Eating - 2 Points)

1. 1

   Remove tough ends from broccoli, chop stems and florets. Put onion and garlic in a 2-quart saucepan with 1/4 c. water and simmer until onion is soft, about 10 minutes; spoon into large pot. Add broccoli and broth to onion mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn down and simmer until broccoli is soft but still green, about 8 minutes. Do not cover pot while broccoli is cooking or it will turn gray. Remove soup from heat and puree in batches in a blender until smooth. (Note: Be careful not to overfill blender, the hot liquid can splatter.) Add evaporated milk and hot pepper sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Yields about 1 3/4 c. per serving.
