: Hi Wendy,

: The tops go into cheese soup.

: Oh, definitely, cut the broth back to two cups!

Those big heads with but a single stem really are usually the local
varieties available only for a reletively short season and are incredibly
sweet in taste with none of the sulphurous , cabage-like flavor of the
ones from more distant places which hav been off the land for too long.
They are an entirely different take than the kind you are using for your
"hash browns." Give one a try and see if yu like the taste of those head
, whether microwaved or used in your soup. You may find a whole different
taste experience that you will like. then you cna have different broccoli
dishes in different seasons.
