I got this recipe off of the blog the chronicles of windy ridge two weeks ago and I've made it three times since. The kids made it with me tonight and Carly and Ridge had so much fun cutting up all the veggies. We added zuchini, yellow squash, and carrots and seasoned with a little salt or garlic salt. The kids gave it a 10 out of 10! It's sooo good.
Fresh Cream of Broccoli Soup
Ingredients:
· 4 celery ribs, chopped
· 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
· 1 large onion, chopped
· 5 tablespoons butter
· 2 bunches broccoli, trimmed and coarsely chopped (about 8 cups)
· 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
· 1/2 teaspoon pepper
· 2 tablespoons cornstarch
· 1/4 cup water
· 1 pint heavy whipping cream
Directions:
In a large saucepan, saute celery, onion & garlic in butter until tender. Add the broccoli, broth, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until broccoli is tender. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream; cook 10 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 6-8 servings. Of course we double, triple and sometimes quadruple recipes at Windy Ridge. Best enjoyed in front of a crackling fire served with bread*

thanks lisa! THis was great. I made it this weekend. I have tried so many different recipes to find they never have enough taste unless you add the entire salt shaker. THis one is perfect.
However, I added carrotts and cauliflower as well. And called it fresh cream of veggie...
