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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Overcooked broccoli will lose its鮮豔色彩 and flavor. Cook it just until it's tender-crisp.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that's low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't be afraid to add other vegetables: This recipe is a great base for a variety of other vegetables. Try adding carrots, celery, or zucchini.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: This soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better with a few toppings. Try adding shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped nuts.
