Creamy Broccoli Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Broccoli Soup.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious soup, grab a saucepan and melt some butter over low heat, taking care not to let it brown.

2. Step 2

   Once the butter is melted, toss in your sliced onion, diced potato, and chopped broccoli, making sure they’re all nicely coated in that rich, buttery goodness.

3. Step 3

   Next, cover the vegetables with a piece of parchment paper; this little trick helps them sweat and brings out their natural flavors.

4. Step 4

   Pop a lid on the pan and let everything simmer gently until the veggies are tender, keeping an eye out to avoid any browning.

5. Step 5

   When they’re softened just right, remove the parchment paper and pour in some chicken broth.

6. Step 6

   Bring this delightful mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are completely tender.

7. Step 7

   Now comes the fun part! If you have an immersion blender, use it to purée the soup until it’s beautifully smooth.

8. Step 8

   No immersion blender? No problem! Just carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches and blend until silky.

9. Step 9

   Once your soup is smooth, stir in salt, black pepper, and a splash of heavy whipping cream.

10. Step 10

    Let it simmer gently again until it’s warmed through, but be sure not to let it boil—this will keep your cream from curdling.

11. Step 11

    And there you have it, a comforting bowl of soup that’s perfect for any occasion! Enjoy every spoonful!.
