Velvety broccoli potato soup with garlicky richness, thickened with a buttery roux. Perfect comfort on chilly evenings!
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 large white potato, cubed
  • 8 cups broccoli florets and stems
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions:
  • In a stockpot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté onion and garlic in the butter until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add potato and broccoli stems, season generously with salt and pepper, then pour in the broth. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are softened, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Combine the broccoli florets with the soup and let it simmer until the broccoli is tender, approximately 5 minutes. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it is smooth.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add flour, milk, and heavy cream to the melted butter, whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the mixture until bubbling and thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir the thickened mixture into the soup until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
