Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

10-12 oz package frozen spinach, thawed, drained, squeezed dry and chopped
10-12 oz package frozen broccoli, chopped
3+1 c chicken broth
2 Tbsp butter
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 large yellow onion, chopped
3 c heavy cream
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp celery salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot, cook the broccoli, onions and celery in butter and 3 cups of broth until they are soft and at least half of the liquid has cooked off. Add the spinach to the mixture; stir well. Put half of the cooked veggie mixture into the blender with the remaining cup of broth and blend well. Add all remaining ingredients and the blended veggies to the pot. Heat until just before boiling point. Add cornstarch if you desire a thicker soup. Add more milk if you desire a less dense soup. Adjust seasoning as needed.
