Broccoli Potato Soup

Instructions

1. Wash and dice potato and celery, combining with
water and vegetable broth in a medium soup pot.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer about
10 min.
Meanwhile, saute chopped onions with oil and 1
TBSP butter in a large pan until slightly golden.
2. Combine onions and broccoli florets in soup, continuing
to simmer until veggies are tender.
Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter in onion pan, then
stir in flour and seasoning. Cook and stir until golden.
Whisk in hot milk, bring to a boil then turn off
heat. Let set, stirring occasionally until thickened.
3. Add lemon juice to soup, then pulse batches in
blender, leaving soup slightly chunky. Combine
white sauce and soup, and return to a simmer.
4. Season as needed. Serve in a bread bowl or garnish
with extra broccoli florets.

restaurant. This healthier, guilt free version is just as creamy but without the fat and
cholesterol which is even more comforting!
