• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

How To Make Cream Of Broccoli Soup Recipe?

1. Cook the onion and garlic: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft.
2. Add the broccoli: Stir in the chicken broth, broccoli florets, salt, and pepper. Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender and green.
3. Blend the soup: Carefully transfer the broccoli and broth mixture to a blender in two batches. Cover the lid but leave a small gap for steam. Blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and reheat on low.
4. Make the cream mixture: In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add the half-and-half while whisking. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
5. Combine and serve: Stir the cream mixture into the soup. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Broccoli: For the best flavor, use fresh broccoli instead of frozen. Fresh broccoli keeps the soup vibrant and prevents it from becoming watery.
• Blend Carefully: When blending the soup, leave a small gap in the blender lid to release steam. This prevents pressure build-up and ensures safety.
• Control Thickness: Adjust the soup’s consistency by adding more or less half-and-half. Start with less and gradually add until you get your preferred creaminess.
• Season Gradually: Taste and adjust the seasoning as you go, especially after adding the half-and-half, to balance the flavors perfectly.
• Serve Hot: For the best taste and texture, serve the soup immediately after cooking while it’s still hot and creamy.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the soup cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Cool the soup completely before freezing in an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Warm the soup over low heat in a pot, stirring occasionally. Add broth or water if it’s too thick.
