CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP
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.

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.

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.
