How to Make Broccoli Soup (Stepwise Pictures)
1)Heat butter in a dutch oven or a deep pot. Add in finely chopped garlic and saute on low heat for 1 minute until the garlic gets aromatic.
2)Add in finely chopped onions and carrots. I like to chop them pretty fine, so it disintegrates into the soup.
3)Saute onions and carrots in the butter for 2 to 3 minutes on low heat until it softens slightly.
4)Add in 2 tbsp of plain flour. This is to create thickness in the soup.
5)Stir fry the flour with the onions, carrots for couple of minutes to remove the raw floury taste.
6)Add in finely shredded broccoli into the mixture.
7)Season the broccoli with salt and white pepper powder. Stir fry this for 2 minutes so the broccoli softens a bit.
8)Add in 3 cups of vegetable stock or chicken stock and mix well. The flour and the broccoli mixture will combine with the soup.
8)Now add in 1 cup of milk.
9)Mix this whole thing together. You can adjust the salt and seasoning in thsi soup at this point.
10)Cover the pot with a lid, cook on low heat for 10 minutes until the broccoli is cooked.
11)Now open the lid. Add in cream which is optional.
12)Mix well, taste for seasoning and adjust. Serve hot with bread rolls.
