Ingredients
5 tablespoons butter, divided
1 chopped onion
1 chopped stalk celery
3 cups chicken broth
8 cups broccoli florets
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Ground black pepper to taste
Directions
- Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients.
- In a medium stockpot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Saute the chopped onion and celery until they become tender.
- Add broccoli and broth to the pot, cover, and allow it to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the soup into a blender, making sure not to fill the pitcher more than halfway. Secure the blender lid with a folded kitchen towel and cautiously start the blender. Use a few quick pulses to set the soup in motion before continuing to puree. Repeat this process in batches until the mixture is smooth, then pour it back into a clean pot. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender directly in the cooking pot.
- In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium to medium-low heat. Stir in the flour and add milk, stirring until the mixture becomes thick and bubbly. Incorporate this into the soup.
- Season the soup with ground black pepper according to your taste, and it’s ready to be served.
- Serve hot and savor the deliciousness!
