Instructions: In a large pot, melt the butter. Add broccoli, onion and thyme; saute until broccoli is almost tender. Add the flour and cook on low heat for about 7-10 minutes, stirring often. Add allspice, broth and cook on medium-high, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat. If you prefer, you can puree the soup in a blender, in small batches. Add the warmed milk

(or half & half plus whipping cream).

Saute mushrooms in a little oil. Use this and green peppers or cheese to garnish the soup and serve.
