Creamy Broccoli Soup Recipe
- teaspoons olive oil
- ½ medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 stalk clery finely chopped
- 1 medium Yukon Gold potato peeled and cubed
- 4 cups fresh broccoli including stems, chopped
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 ½ cups non fat milk or half and half
- salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil on medium heat in a soup pot or Dutch oven. Gently sauté onion, garlic and celery for 3-4 minutes, until onion is softened.
Add potato and chopped broccoli, followed by the broth and milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Allow soup to cool slightly, then transfer to a blender in 2-3 batches, and blend until smooth. Return soup to pot and heat gently until ready to serve.
