Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 medium Leek (white part only)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 ounces Butter (salted)
  • 1 pound Broccoli (2 medium heads)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Parsley (chopped)

Instruction

  • Roughly chop the white part of the leek and place into a large saucepan, along with the butter and garlic.
  • Saute the leeks over low heat until they are beginning to turn translucent. Add the cream.
  • Cut the broccoli into evenly sized florets and place into the saucepan.
  • Add the chicken stock and stir. Ensure that the broccoli is mostly covered.
  • Simmer on low to medium heat for 8 minutes. If you cook the broccoli too quick, it will discolor and turn the soup an off brown color. The broccoli is cooked when it is easy to break up with a spoon.
  • Using a stick blender, carefully blend the soup until no lumps are remaining.
  • Stir through the salt, pepper, and parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste. Enjoy.
