Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium sized stock pot, and saute onion and celery until tender. Add broccoli and broth, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
- In small saucepan, over medium-heat melt 3 tablespoons butter, stir in flour and add milk. Stir until thick and bubbly, and add to soup. Season with pepper and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
- Cook the broccoli properly. Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water, but if you use water, you'll need to add some extra flavor with salt, pepper, and other seasonings.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many ways to make cream of broccoli soup. You can add different vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or onions. You can also add different seasonings, such as garlic, onion powder, or paprika. Feel free to experiment until you find a recipe that you love.
