Steps:
- Melt butter in a large pot, and cook the leeks over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, and coriander. Reserve about 1/4 cup of small broccoli florets, and cook the rest of the broccoli with the leeks until the broccoli is bright green, about 5 more minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, bring the soup to a boil, cover, then simmer until the broccoli is very tender, 10 to 15 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.
- Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the reserved broccoli florets, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often. Simmer until the broccoli florets are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, and mix in the condensed milk. Serve hot.

DAIRY-FREE CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP
The satiny texture of this soup will make you think it's cream-based, but it's absolutely dairy-free and delicious! It's a perfect dish to use up leftover broccoli stalks that don't fit into other meals. It freezes well and makes a great winter warm-up snack or lunch! Can be served immediately, seasoned with black pepper, curry powder, or even grated cheese (for people who don't mind dairy) or can be frozen in individual portions and microwaved later.

Tips:
- For a smoother soup, blend it until it reaches your desired consistency. You can use an immersion blender or a regular blender.
- If you don't have chicken broth on hand, you can substitute vegetable broth or water. However, chicken broth will give the soup a richer flavor.
- Fresh broccoli is best for this soup, but you can also use frozen broccoli. If using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it before adding it to the soup.
- To make the soup even more flavorful, you can add a cup of cooked chicken or turkey. Simply shred the chicken or turkey and add it to the soup along with the broccoli.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
