Bright Broccoli Cream Soup with Sesame Breadstick

Quickly simmered broccoli and a single potato blend into an emerald soup with a gentle, sweet flavor and no stringy bits. A dollop of creme fraiche, a tiny blanched floret and fresh basil top each bowl, with a sesame breadstick for crunch. It takes under thirty minutes and suits both weeknights and elegant starters.
