How to Make Incredible Broccoli Soup
- Trim and cut 1 large head of broccoli into florets. Par-boil the broccoli in salted water for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon grease and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the onion and bacon mixture to a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Add the par-boiled broccoli, 4 cups of chicken broth, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the pot.
- Stir well to combine and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of half-and-half until smooth.
- Return to low heat for another 5 minutes to gently heat through. Do not boil.
- Serve hot, garnished with crumbled bacon (optional) and crusty garlic bread.
