Cream of Broccoli Soup image

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.
