Directions:

  1. Chop the onion.
  2. In a small stock pot, melt the butter and saute the onion and garlic.
  3. Stir in flour until blended and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add the broth and bring to a boil, cook and stir for a few minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  5. Add broccoli and seasonings and return to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.
  7. Add milk and cook uncovered another 5 minutes.
  8. If you have an immersion blender, you may use it now to puree the soup. If not, cool the soup to room temperature and process in batches until smooth. Return to pan and heat through.

  10. Garnish with extra cheese if desired.
