Ingredients

2 servings

•

2 tablespoons butter
•

1 onion, thinly sliced
•

1 small potatoes, thinly sliced
•

2 cups fresh chopped broccoli

•

1.5 cups chicken broth
•

0.25 teaspoon salt
•

ground black pepper to taste
•

0.5 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

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.
Remove and discard the parchment paper. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until vegetables are soft.
Purée with an immersion blender until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and cream. Simmer gently until heated through; do not boil or cream will curdle.
