In a blender or food processor, puree broccoli with a little sauce, adding remaining sauce until all of broccoli is blended. Correct seasonings to taste and thin with half-andhalf to the desired consistency. Serve sprinkled with Hungarian sweet paprika. NOTE: This rich and creamy soup has excellent garlic flavor.
