Broccoli cream soup with milk
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. Cream soups, of course, are prepared according to various recipes using a variety of ingredients. I have shared my own method. Serve with herbs and sour cream.

Step 1
Heat a high-sided skillet. Add a piece of butter to it. Then add chopped onion. Sauté for a couple of minutes. Then add minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring.

Step 2
Rinse the broccoli and break it into florets. Add to the sautéed onion and garlic, then pour in the milk. Simmer the vegetables in milk over low heat for about half an hour. You can cover with a lid, but watch carefully to prevent the milk from boiling over. Don't forget to stir the mixture occasionally.

Step 3
After 20 minutes, open the lid and pour in the cream. Cut the cheese into pieces. You can use any cheese you prefer. I like it spicier, so I used blue cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer for another 10–15 minutes with the lid on.

Step 4
Let the broccoli, milk, and cheese stew cool slightly. Transfer it to a blender (or use an immersion blender). Blend all ingredients until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps or solid pieces.

Step 5
Before serving, you can pour the cream soup back into a skillet or saucepan and reheat it. Ladle the soup into bowls. Serve with fresh herbs or leftover broccoli florets.
