Cream of Broccoli Soup

3 tbsp butter

1 yellow onion, finely diced

2 celery stalks, finely diced

3 tbsp flour

3 cups broccoli, cut into florets

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1/3 cup heavy cream

salt and pepper to taste

cheddar cheese for serving (optional)



In a large Dutch oven or soup pot melt butter over medium high heat. Add onion and celery and sauté until they become soft, 4-5 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add broccoli, broth, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until broccoli is completely cooked. Using an immersion blender puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. Add cream and heat for an additional 5 minutes. Serve with shredded cheddar cheese. Enjoy!

Question: why are you adding the cream at the end?

His recipe calls for heavy cream, but he adds it after the immersion blender. I'm just wondering why then and not when you add the other liquids.

Thats what i did too Gus i added when i added everything else, :dunno:

Cream can break at high temperature. You see that separation in soups that include cream. It’s cream breaking down. Really, it will need a blonde roux to keep it all together or the cream reduced to thicken. The recipe is not a very good technique in the cooking process. Also, depends on if you like thicker soups or watery. I would have added some cream cheese to thicken if you want to keep flour out of it.

I'll wait for Burque, HawkBear, HHM, and believe it or not, brett, before I took the advice of Silence.

Just a heads up Lou.

Fun fact, Silence substitutes blow for the flour he uses when making a roux
