2.  In large heavy pot, combine leeks, garlic, margarine and 3 tbsp broth.
Cook over med, stirring frequently, for 10 mins until leeks are tender but
not browned.  (Add more broth if liquid evaporates).
3.  Add broccoli, potatoes, basil, thyme, pepper and remaining broth and
bring to boil.  Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 11-14 mins, until
potatoes and broccoli are tender.  Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4.  Working in batches, puree the mixture in blender on low for 10 seconds.
Raise speed to high and process until completely smooth.  Return to pot.
Add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Cook for 4-5 mins, do not boil.
