Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1/4 cup Onion minced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 3 tsp All-purpose flour

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat the oil and butter in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic for about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir the broth and broccoli florets into the pot and simmer for about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Taste to check the flavor; if the flavor is weak, adjust the seasoning and simmer for 5-10 minutes more to concentrate the flavor. Add the cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Soup should be nice and thick (if the soup is too thin, dissolve a little more flour and an equal amount of water, then add it to the simmering soup until you reach a nice, thick consistency).
  • Once it is at the desired consistency, remove from heat and stir in the cheese.
  • Season well with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crackers.
