CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP



Cream of Broccoli Soup image

This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 pound broccoli, cut into florets, stems peeled and chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes.
  • Add flour and cook, stirring, until combined, 1 minute.
  • Whisking constantly, add broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons butter, divided
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
8 cups broccoli florets
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium sized stock pot, and saute onion and celery until tender. Add broccoli and broth, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  • In small saucepan, over medium-heat melt 3 tablespoons butter, stir in flour and add milk. Stir until thick and bubbly, and add to soup. Season with pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli. Fresh broccoli has a more intense flavor and is more nutritious than frozen broccoli. If you must use frozen broccoli, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. Overcooked broccoli will lose its flavor and become mushy. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Serve the soup hot. Cream of broccoli soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This creamy broccoli soup has fresh broccoli florets and a delicious creamy broth. It's a comforting and flavorful soup that's perfect for a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover broccoli. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious bowl of cream of broccoli soup that the whole family will love.
