Ingredients

  • 2 strips bacon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 small red-skinned potatoes (about 6 ounces), quartered
  • 1/2 head broccoli (about 10 ounces), broken into florets, stem peeled and sliced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 8 1/4-inch-thick pieces
  • 4 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 8 thin slices

Directions

Cook the bacon in the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat until it renders slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and celery seed and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Scatter the flour over the mixture and stir to coat. Gradually add the broth and the milk, whisking until smooth.

Add the potatoes and sliced broccoli stem; increase the heat to medium and simmer, covered, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli florets and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue cooking, uncovered, at a rapid simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, position a rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler to high. Spread the mustard on each piece of baguette and top with a cheddar slice. Place on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese melts; serve with the soup.

    Delicious!!! I skipped on the flour (basically because it didn't come home with me from the store!, chopped up the potatoes much smaller, and slow simmered the soup for about 15 minutes longer. So easy, and so worth it!!

    This soup was delicious!! Without looking at the recipe ahead of time (my husband picked it out, I assumed broccoli soup = cheesy soup. Not the case...

    This soup tasted fresh & healthy... and it was really good too!
