Cream Of Broccoli Soup With Sage

Sage is a perfect addition to many dishes – lighter and more fragrant than oregano, and with more earth tones than basil.  Amontillado sherry is always an excellent complement to soups, and the final ingredient – freshly grated parmesan cheese gives a real pungency.
