Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Melt butter in a saucepan; do not brown. Add onion, potato, and broccoli; toss to coat with butter. Press parchment paper over the vegetables; this is called "sweating" and adds better flavor. Cover the pan and simmer very gently until vegetables have softened; do not brown.
Step 2
Remove and discard the parchment paper. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until vegetables are soft.
Step 3
Purée with an immersion blender until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and cream. Simmer gently until heated through; do not boil or cream will curdle.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh chopped broccoli
