Smoked Turkey, Broccoli and Black Bean Soup

George's at the Cove, La Jolla, CA

Yes, I know - proud mothers can be very tiresome. Still, I can't resist saying that early in what we have come to refer to as our older son Chef Keegan's "culinary career", he worked at George's. Granted, he was a waiter, not a chef. At the time
he was training to be an Olympic cyclist and waiting tables to keep body and soul together. But I just gotta tell you, you wouldn't BELIEVE what rigors a person
has to go through to be hired to wait tables at George's! Many's the cold rainy afternoon in central Germany I've spent fantasizing about sitting on the Ocean Terrace at George's drooling just as much over the spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean as over the excellent food. One of my very favorite places in the whole world...(MG)

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup peeled, diced broccoli stems
1/2 cup each chopped carrot, onion and celery
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups broccoli florets
A 1-pound can black beans, drained
8 ounces smoked turkey, diced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

In a large heavy saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the broccoli stems, carrot, onion, celery and sauté 5 minutes. Add thyme, oregano and basil and sauté 5 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil.
Add the stock and cook until liquid is reduced by half, stirring occasionally,
about 15 minutes. Add broccoli florets, beans. turkey, Worcestershire and
hot pepper sauce to soup and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add
cream and simmer 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt and
pepper as necessary. Add cornstarch-water mixture and cook briefly until soup thickens. Serves 6.
