Ingredients
2 | tsp. | unsalted butter |
3/4 | cup | chopped white onion |
1/4 | tsp. | white pepper |
4 | cups | bite-size broccoli florets and tender stems |
3 | cups | natural fat-free chicken broth |
2 | tsp. | fresh lemon juice |
1/2 | cup | fat-free evaporated milk |
1/8 | tsp. | freshly grated or ground nutmeg |
1/8 | tsp. | sea salt, or to taste |
Directions
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and white pepper for 3 minutes or until the onion is softened.
- Add the broccoli, broth, and lemon juice. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until the broccoli is very tender.
- Use a hand blender to puree the soup in the pot. Or puree the soup in batches in a blender, reheating in a clean pot over medium heat. (See the "hot fill" line on your blender container for guidance, if available.)
- Stir in the evaporated milk, nutmeg, and salt. Heat the soup for 3 minutes or until hot.
