Ingredients:

*2 heads organic broccoli

*6 cups water, vegetable stock, or chicken stock

*1/2 cup fontina cheese, cut into small cubes (or use a sharp cheddar)

*3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped

*3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

*sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

*1 large organic yukon gold potato, chopped

Equipment:

oven

frying pan

pot

immersion blender

blender

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Chop the broccoli into florets and arrange on a sheet pan (or two) with the garlic cloves. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over the broccoli and garlic. Sprinkle the broccoli with sea salt and pepper. Place in oven and roast for 10 minutes, stirring the broccoli around half way through.2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Cook for several minutes, until soft. Add the potato along with the water or stock to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.3. After 10 minutes of roasting, remove broccoli and garlic from the oven and add to the soup pot. Bring to boil again. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 5-10 more minutes, until the vegetables are very tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a bit.4. Transfer soup to a blender (or purée right in the pot if you have an immersion blender) and purée in batches until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and add the cheese. Stir until it has melted completely. Add crème fraîche and stir to combine again. Taste and adjust seasonings, and add more water or stock if you want to thin the soup a bit. Or, if you'd like a thicker, cheesier soup, add more cheese. Serve individual bowls with additional crème fraîche swirled in, if you like; freshly ground pepper is also a "must" on top.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
