When the weather calls for something warm and comforting, this creamy broccoli soup is a perfect choice. This simple recipe combines tender broccoli with a rich, creamy texture and delicious flavor, making it a comforting meal for colder days.
The broccoli is first cooked in broth until tender, then blended with an immersion blender until smooth and velvety. This creates a naturally creamy texture without the need for heavy cream.
A light roux made with butter and flour is then prepared separately and gradually combined with the remaining broth. This gives the soup extra thickness and richness. Once the blended broccoli is added, everything is cooked together briefly so the flavors can fully combine.
This soup is perfect as a light starter or a satisfying meal on a cold day. It is easy to prepare, filling and full of flavor, making it a great choice whenever you want something warm and comforting.
