Cream of broccoli soup is one of my very favorite nostalgic foods. Growing up, we would buy hot cups of it at the ice skating rink after skating endless laps. Desperate for something warm, cream of broccoli soup was the perfect treat. Nowadays, I make this version for dinner when I’m craving cozy homemade soup<\/a>. It’s packed with vegetables and comes together in just over an hour. That leaves plenty of time to pop my proofed soft dinner rolls<\/a> into the oven and toss together one of my go-to winter salads<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a large saucepan, saute the celery and onion in butter until they’re tender and the onions are translucent.<\/p>\n Add the broccoli, chicken broth, garlic salt and pepper and bring them to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot and simmer the soup for 45 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water until they form a smooth slurry. Stir the slurry into the soup.<\/p>\n Bring the soup to a boil, then cook and stir for two minutes or until it has thickened. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream, then cook the soup for 10 minutes longer or until it’s heated through.<\/p>\n This recipe for cream of broccoli soup is so delicious that you probably won’t have many leftovers! But store whatever leftovers you do have in an airtight container in the fridge for three to four days.<\/p>\n Yes! I love to have a quart of cream of broccoli soup in the freezer for a rainy day when I don’t feel like cooking. Follow our tips for freezing soup<\/a> like a pro. Just be aware that dairy can separate when frozen; you may want to omit the cream from the soup if you’re planning on freezing it, then add it when reheating the soup.<\/p>\n Reheat your leftover soup in the microwave or on the stovetop. If it’s frozen, either allow it to thaw before reheating, or reheat it straight from frozen on the stovetop until it’s bubbling and warmed all the way through.<\/p>\n We use cornstarch to thicken our cream of broccoli soup, but you can also use flour and butter to make a roux<\/a>, which is another classic way to thicken soups and gravies.<\/p>\n Slow-cooker soup is a dream because you basically just set it and forget it. And before you know it, your house is filled with the wonderful smell of soup. Try our slow-cooker cheesy broccoli soup<\/a> for a simplified variation.<\/p>\n Serve this as a full meal with some breadsticks or garlic bread<\/a>. It also goes well with a grilled cheese sandwich<\/a> or any type of leafy green salad<\/a> to offset the heaviness of the soup.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You can’t go wrong
