Jade Green Soup

Put vegetable broth and water in a large pot. Add onions, potatoes and broccoli. (If using fresh broccoli, peel the tough lower portions of the stem.)

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 1/2 hour.

Add spinach to soup mixture. Cook for a minute, just to heat through. Puree the soup in batches in a blender and return the pureed soup to the pot.

Puree silken tofu in blender with about 1/2 cup of soup mixture. When very smooth, stir it back into the pot.

Add tarragon, salt and pepper and heat through. Serve hot, garnished with seasoned bread cubes, if desired.
