Creamy American Broccoli Soup – Deliciously Comforting

Heat vegetable oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent.

Add the chopped carrot and broccoli florets; cook for 3–5 minutes.

2. Make the Roux

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat.

Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

3. Add Broth & Simmer

Gradually pour in the broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

4. Blend the Soup

Use an immersion blender (or transfer in batches to a countertop blender) to puree until smooth.

Adjust the consistency with more broth if needed.

5. Season & Serve

Add salt to taste, and optional pepper or a splash of cream for extra richness.

Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheese or a drizzle of cream if desired.

Cheesy Twist: Stir in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese for a richer flavor.
