Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • 1 russet potato, peeled and diced
  • Pinch dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
  • 4 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
  • 1 (16-ounce) package frozen broccoli, thawed
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons cream or half-and-half, optional
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional toppings: shaved Parmesan, shredded cheddar or crumbled bacon

Directions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the potato, thyme, salt, and broth and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook uncovered until the potato is fork tender, about 10 minutes. Add the broccoli and simmer for 3 minutes.

Puree the soup in batches in a blender or with an immersion blender. Return soup to the pot and add the cream. Bring to a simmer, taste, and season with salt and pepper.

Serve with optional toppings.

    Great soup!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is a good recipe you can do a lot with. I cook the potatoes and broccoli in the chicken stock together for about 25... minutes, then take out about a third of the potatoes and broccoli. I use an immersion blender on the remainder, adding a cup of parmigiana reggiano. Then add the chunks back in. Awesome! Read more

    Kids Approved

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I didn't think I would be able to get my six children to eat broccoli soup, youngest four years old, but they not only ate it... but rated it a ten with many requests to make it again. I added four potatoes and cheese. I cooked the onion and potato together with the butter/olive oil, garlic, and herb. I then added the flour after potato was cooked. Last, I added to the broccoli soup. They really loved it. I was really surprised. I think I might garnish it with a bit more thyme, bacon, and cheddar on top next time for them. It is a very filling soup, very yummy.Read more

    Quite Solid - Try it like this -

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This is a solid soup. Consistency is what I hoped for with Broccoli soup, quite delicious even without cheese. I strongly... suggest adding a bit of Kale at the same time as the Broccoli, and ending it off by adding 1-2 tbsp of Horseradish (Wasabi would work, but be careful!), simmer like this for 2-3 minutes, before serving. This will give it a touch of kick that should make everyone forget about cheese. Enjoy! Read more
