Broccoli/Carrot Soup image

Have always loved raw broccoli and disliked it cooked. Some time ago my digestive system screamed, "no more raw", so I came up with this recipe. Now the scream is "more,more"! Do not be dismayed by length of instructions...really very easy.

This soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I added a bit of water and it was perfect. I also added a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to give it a little more flavor.
