Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced leeks, white and light green only
1 cup chopped peeled potato
3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 medium clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups broccoli florets
1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Add all but 2 to 3 of the broccoli florets, bring back to a simmer and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, and let cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
  • Meanwhile, cut the reserved broccoli florets in half, lengthwise. Put in a small microwave-safe bowl, toss with a splash of water and a pinch of salt, cover and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Add the cream and reheat the soup if necessary. Adjust the consistency and seasoning with water, salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot and garnish each soup with a broccoli half.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh broccoli florets for the best flavor and texture. If you only have frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly before using.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: You want the broccoli to be tender but still have 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 that you enjoy the taste of. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beef broth.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Cream of broccoli soup is delicious on its own, but it's also great served with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include croutons, shredded cheese, bacon bits, and chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Cream of broccoli soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and delicious to eat. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and fresh broccoli florets, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
