Ingredients
Original recipe makes 6 servings

    2 tablespoons butter

    1 onion, chopped

    1 stalk celery, chopped

    3 cups chicken broth

    8 cups broccoli florets

    3 tablespoons butter

    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

    2 cups milk

    ground black pepper to taste

Directions

    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.
This low-fat broccoli soup is a very healthy and filling soup recipe. Onions, carrot and broccoli are cooked in vegetable stock / broth and are pureed in this recipe. Any flavorful mushroom could be used and would achieve good results. I think a handful of dulse or some kelp flakes might add some more depth and bring out the flavors further. I contemplated adding some romaine lettuce leaves and some fennel tops, but didn’t really have room and was glad afterwards that I did not although the romaine is pretty neutral in a mixture like this.
This simple soup is sooper easy to prepare and can be prepared in less than half an hour. This healthy soup makes a delicious and satisfying lunch when served along with toasted bread.
I did add a pinch of nutmeg and pepper to season. Also adding sour cream gives this hearty winter soup a creamy texture.

Broccoli's nutritional profile is impressive. It contains high levels of fiber (both soluble and insoluble) and is a rich source of vitamin-C.

In fact, just a 100 gram serving of broccoli will provide you with more than 150% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C, which in large doses can potentially shorten the duration of the common cold.1

Broccoli is also rich in vitamin A, iron, vitamin K, B-complex vitamins, zinc, phosphorus and phyto-nutrients.
