BEST CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium sized stock pot, and saute onion and celery until tender. Add broccoli and broth, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• 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 a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
• In small saucepan, over medium-heat melt 3 tablespoons butter, stir in flour and add milk. Stir until thick and bubbly, and add to soup. Season with pepper and serve.

EASY BUT ELEGANT BROCCOLI SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; cook the onion, carrot and garlic for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the stock and bring to a boil; add the broccoli.
• Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the broccoli is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a blender or food processor, puree the soup in batches and transfer to a glass bowl.
• Stir in the cream; season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until chilled.
• Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.
• If you prefer hot soup, serve when ready with a sprinkling of chopped parsley on each serving.
