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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

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.
