Best Cream of Broccoli Soup Review!

Best  Cream of Broccoli Soup

This broccoli soup was very good but really needed some salt. While this was good, I have had much better Broccoli Soup. I did add a 


little crumbled bacon and cheese on top of it. 

Ingredients:

Melt butter in pan

Add onions and celery

Saute until tender

Add broccoli

Add broth

Put lid on and simmer for 10 minutes

(I didn't puree the broccoli so I let it simmer for 30-40 minutes)

Melt butter in small pan

Add flour and stir

Add milk

Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly

Pour into broccoli mixture

Simmer and serve

Enjoy!

Recipe:

Original recipe makes 6 servings


2 tablespoons butter


1 onion, chopped


1 stalk celery, chopped


3 cups chicken broth


8 cups broccoli florets


3 tablespoons butter


3 tablespoons all-purpose flour


2 cups milk


ground black pepper to taste

(I added a little salt-just thought it needed it)

Directions
 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.

 I paired this with the 

BLT Salad with Basil Mayo Dressing

Enjoy!
