Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 large head broccoli (about 3 pounds), trimmed, stalks peeled, stalks and florets roughly chopped
1 medium baking potato, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)

Steps:

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add broth, broccoli, potato, and 2 cups water; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until broccoli and potato are just tender, about 4 minutes.
Working in batches, puree soup in a blender (fill it no more than halfway) and return to pot. Stir in cream and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
