Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

¼ cup butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 quart chicken broth
12 ounces chopped watercress
2 cups half-and-half cream

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook stirring constantly for a few minutes. Remove from heat, and gradually whisk in the chicken broth so that no lumps form.
  • Return to medium heat, and bring to a simmer. Add watercress, cover, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Puree in small batches using a blender, or blend in the pan using an immersion blender. Return to the saucepan, and stir in the half-and-half cream. Heat until warm, but do not boil.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out watery and flavorless. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some watercress, potatoes, and leeks that were about to go bad, and this soup was the perfect way to use them up.
