Broccoli Soup

arm and comforting, there's nothing wrong with my broccoli soup recipe. This is one of the very first things I taught myself how to cook, and its been winning over hungry guests for years. However, I think the time has come to upgrade this classic (more to come in a later post).


Broccoli Soup
2 T unsalted butter
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1 T flour
2 C half-and-half
1/2 lb farfalle (bowtie pasta)
1 lb frozen broccoli

Melt butter in a large pot and cook onions until tender. Whisk in flour brifely; continue whisking while adding half and half. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Allow mixture to thicken, stirring frequently. Add chicken stock.

Meanwhile, boil pasta in salted water until half done. Add broccoli and boil until tender. Drain and add to cream sauce. Heat through.
