This quick homemade cream of broccoli soup is the best, thanks to flavorful additions like celery and onions and a thick, but creamy, texture.
Step1
Gather all ingredients.
Step2
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium stock pot over medium heat. Saute onion and celery until tender.
Step3
Add broccoli and broth, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step4
Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use an immersion blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
Step5
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium to medium-low heat; stir in flour and add milk. Stir until thick and bubbly, and add to soup. Season with pepper and serve.
Step6
Serve hot and enjoy!
