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.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

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.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually add a little bit of extra cheese to make it even creamier. I would definitely recommend this soup to anyone looking for a delicious and easy to make soup.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen broccoli and it worked perfectly. The soup was thick and creamy, and the flavor was amazing. I will definitely be making this soup again.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but this soup was amazing! The creaminess of the soup balanced out the bitterness of the broccoli, and the cheese added a nice flavor. I would definitely recommend this soup to anyone, even if they don't like broccoli.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I also added a bit of shredded cheddar cheese to give it a bit more flavor. Overall, it was a good soup, but it needed a little bit of extra seasoning
