Directions
1. To prepare the broccoli, cut off the florets and chop them.Trim off the bottom 2 inches of each stem, peel the stems, and thinly slice. Combine the broccoli, oil, garlic, thyme, broth, wine, and lemon juice in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.
2. With the back of a large spoon, mash some of the broccoli against the side of the cooker; the soup will be chunky. Or for a smooth soup, puree with a handheld immersion blender or transfer to a food processor or blender and puree in batches. Season with salt and pepper. Serve in bowls, passing the toast and Parmesan.
