Introduction
This soup is super creamy in texture, but it contains very little actual cream. The butter and flour mixture -- what's called a roux -- gives it body and silkiness.

Ingredients
-
8 cup, chopped or diced Broccoli, fresh
1 cup, chopped Onions, raw
4 cup Swanson Chicken Broth 99% Fat Free
3 tbsp Lucerne Fat Free Half-and-Half Ultra-Pasteurized cream
3 serving Flour, white, 1 tbsp (by SPIRITUALBEAR)
4 serving Land O Lakes, Ultra Creamy Butter, Unsalted, 1 Tbsp
1 cup (8 fl oz) Water, tap
Directions
In a medium pot, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes.
Add flour and cook, stirring, until combined, 1 minute.
Whisking constantly, add broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes.
Add broccoli and bring to a simmer. Cook until broccoli is very tender, 20 minutes.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl. In batches, fill a blender halfway with mixture and puree until smooth; to allow heat to escape, remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid with a dish towel, and hold down firmly while blending. Return soup to pot as pureed.
Add cream and heat over medium until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Thin with broth or water, if desired.
