CREAMY HOMEMADE WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• To begin making this white bean soup, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Cut the florets off of the broccoli stalks and place on a baking sheet along with 4 cloves of peeled garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, toss to make sure everything is coated, and roast for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel the broccoli stems. Cut the stems into small pieces. Peel and mince the shallots. Place the chopped broccoli stalks and shallots into a large saucepan, along with one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently for about three minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
• Add the chicken stock and beans, cover and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low, cover, and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
• Add the roasted broccoli and garlic to the soup. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture to your desired consistency. (I like to leave small chunks of broccoli and beans.)
• Add cream and taste. Add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper if necessary. Serve immediately.

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.
