One work night this past week, I made club sandwiches for all of us and had this soup as a side. It was SO good. Went well with the subs too - mayo, turkey, lettuce, bacon and tomato. Read more . Hope somebody has a little fun with it as we did. Ingredients:
3-tbsp unsalted butter, plus 2-tbspn cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces |
1-cup yellow onions , sliced |
1/2-tspn salt |
1/4-tspn black pepper |
pinch of nutmeg |
1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic |
1/4-cup dried crushed thyme |
3-tbspn all-purpose flour |
3-cups of chicken broth (i used swanson’s.) |
2(10-oz)packages frozen chopped broccoli |
1/2-cup heavy cream |
1 1/4-cups freshly shredded mild cheddar cheese |
croutons, to garnish |
Directions:
1. Melt 3-tbspn butter in medium sized pot. Add the onions, salt, pepper and nutmeg and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook stirring, until fragrant - about 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring until the mixture is well blended and smells fragrant, 2 minutes. Slowly add the chicken stock, whisking constantly, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring, until tender, for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and puree with a hand-held immersion blender, a food processor or a contour top blender. Return to the pot and add the cram and bring to a bare simmer.
