4 cups chicken broth (i use knorr boullion cubes ) |
4 cups broccoli raab (washed and chopped) |
3 tablespoons margarine |
3 tablespoons flour |
2 cups milk |
cheese (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. In medium sized stock pot sauté onion, garlic and celery in olive oil until tender.
2. Add broccoli raab and broth; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and purée soup with a hand blender. (you can use the blender for this but let the liquid cool first).
4. Return to heat.
5. In small saucepan, over medium heat melt 3 tablespoons butter, stir in flour and add milk.
6. Stir until thick and bubbly, add to soup and stir well.
