Provided by Martha Stewart

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.
  • Add broccoli and bring to a simmer. Cook until broccoli is very tender, 20 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl. In batches, fill a blender halfway with mixture and puree until smooth; to allow heat to escape, remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid with a dish towel, and hold down firmly while blending. Return soup to pot as pureed.
  • Add cream and heat over medium until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with broth or water, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: For the best flavor, use fresh, tender broccoli crowns. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli will lose its vibrant green color and become mushy. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: The flavor of the soup will be greatly enhanced if you use a good quality chicken broth. If you don't have homemade chicken broth on hand, look for a store-bought broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: The recipe calls for cheddar cheese, but you can also use Parmesan, Gruyère, or a combination of cheeses. Experiment until you find a combination that you love.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: A sprinkling of fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

This creamy broccoli soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover broccoli. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and colorful vegetables, this soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this cream of broccoli soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
