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.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

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.

Creamy, Dreamy Broccoli Cheese Soup image

I have never made this kind of soup before, but hubby had a hanker'n for it so I went on a search for the perfect recipe. I found a couple that looked good, but wasn't exactly what I would do, so changed it up here and there until I came up with a creamy, dreamy recipe that will comfort any soup lovin' soul. I hope you enjoy this...
