cream of broccoli soup and garlic bread

i made a cream of broccoli soup-- cooked up a chopped onion in a little peanut oil, then added in 2 chopped potatoes. i added in three small heads of broccoli, cut up into little pieces. instead of veggie broth, i used some garbanzo bean cooking liquid that had been hanging out in the freezer. i used enough liquid to just cover the veggies. for spices, i used salt, pepper, onion powder and parsley. this all simmered for about 25 minutes.
i made a small portion of white sauce in another pot, a little earth balance, some white whole wheat flour and soy milk... when this was thick, i added to first pot, and blended the whole thing with the immersion blender.

for the garlic bread, danny made a garlic butter with earth balance and 2 cloves of pressed garlic. we used yummy perreca's bread, buttered it up!, and placed it under the broiler for 3-4 minutes.

yum yum yum :)
