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.

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: Select broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets, as these may indicate that it is not fresh.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Before cooking, wash the broccoli thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the broccoli into small florets, discarding the tough ends of the stems.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Choose a broth that is flavorful and has a rich, savory taste.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Season to taste: Once the soup is cooked, season it with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

Conclusion:

Cream of broccoli soup is a delicious, creamy, and nutritious soup that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With its simple ingredients and straightforward preparation, this soup is sure to become a family favorite. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give cream of broccoli soup a try!
