This easy Cream of Broccoli Soup is a gluten-free 1:1 replacement for canned soup. It’s creamy, flavorful, and comes together fast with just a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp salted butter ($0.22)

1 cup frozen broccoli florets (thawed and diced very small, (4.3 oz) $0.58*)

1 tsp garlic powder ($0.05)

1 tsp onion powder ($0.05)

½ tsp salt ($0.01)

½ cup heavy whipping cream (room temperature, $0.66)

1 cup whole milk (room temperature, $0.28)

1 tsp cornstarch ($0.05)

Instructions

1 Gather ingredients.

2 Dice broccoli into very small pieces.

3 Melt butter and add broccoli, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and sauté 6-8 minutes.

4 Add room temperature cream and milk and allow it to reduce by 1/4, stirring often, reincorporating any “skin” that forms on the surface, gently simmering for 8-10 minutes

5 Make a slurry with cornstarch and some of the cream-milk mixture. Add the slurry to the pan, and stir to thicken. Once the soup has reduced or thickened to about 2/3 of its original volume, it’s done!
