Cream of Broccoli Soup

From the kitchen of CDKitchen.

Serves 8

Ingredients

  • 4 cups broccoli cuts fresh or 16 ounces frozen broccoli cuts or 2 (10-oz.) packages frozen broccoli cuts
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 medium onions – chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 2 tablespoons King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 dash pepper
  • 2 cups milk – half and half, or evaporated milk

Instructions

Combine chicken broth, onions, broccoli, thyme, bay leaf and garlic cloves.

Bring to a boil. Simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Add milk gradually, stirring constantly until all milk is added; mixture will be lumpy at first, but will smooth out as you keep stirring. Cook, stirring occasionally, till mixture bubbles and thickens.

Remove and discard bay leaf from broccoli/broth mixture. Puree in batches in blender or food processor for 30 seconds, or until very smooth.

Transfer to large bowl. Add milk mixture, stirring until well combined. Adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
