I need a really good cheesy broccoli soup recipe-restaurant style. Help!?

Question

I want it to taste like you went to a restaurant...you know creamy, not chunky. Nothing else added but the broccoli and cheese.

Answer 1

Most restaurants' brocc-cheese soups I've eaten have cnunks of brocc in them! I suppose you could puree this when you're done cooking it, though.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

1 cup fresh or frozen broccoli, chopped small
¼ cup onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter
Kosher salt and fresh black pepper
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken stock
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup shredded Velveeta
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a heavy saucepan sauté onion in butter until tender. Whisk in flour, salt and pepper until smooth and simmer for one minute. Gradually stir in broth until mixture boils and thickens. Stir in cream, broccoli and cheese and simmer to desired thickness.

Answer 2

Traditional Fresh Broccoli and Cheese Soup

Make a roux: (2oz butter) Gently warmed, gradually add plain flour one small spoon at a time and mix in thoroughly. Keep on very low heat. When it forms into a soft ball, flatten it out and turn it while you warm it through for a minute or two. (low heat)

Very, very gradually, stir in a little milk, stir this with a hand whisk or a fork until all the milk has been taken up into the roux, only then add a little more. Otherwise it will go lumpy so need to be patient doing this. Keep going till you have added about half a pint of milk. (Still on a very low heat setting)

Put ample sprigs of FRESH broccoli into a blender or very finely chop and stir this into the mixture. Now stir in a pint of cream. Add black pepper to taste.

Gradually bring to heat though DO NOT BOIL. Then turn down to simmer for around 10 mins stirring occasionally.

Grate either a good strong Cheddar cheese or blue stilton (not too much stilton - taste soup as you add) and stir in.

Serve with a few fresh grating of cheese and a couple of small sprigs of uncooked broccoli on top.

This is GORGEOUS!!

Answer 5

I have been given a equipment combination that became magnificent one time, yet have not considered it on the cabinets lower back. I start up with veggie broth from the canning drinks and cooking drinks from greens from different foodstuff that I keep in freezer boxes. convey this to a boil, and upload seasonings, corn starch slurry just to thicken it somewhat, then stir interior the shredded cheddar fairly at a time until eventually the soup is superb and thick and not lumpy. Then I upload the grated broccoli. finally I upload an exceptionally good pink wine, to it to skinny it down and supply it a super style. i do no longer often cook dinner from recipes, yet attempt copying issues I even have tasted in eating places until eventually i'm getting them good. There are no longer any measurements right here, so which you settle on in case you want to attempt it my way or no longer.
