Cut the florets off the broccoli stems. Then chop the stems into small pieces. You will need two cups of broccoli for every cup of chicken broth.

Add the stems to the onions and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until the stems are easily pierced with a fork. Then add the broccoli florets. Each should be no bigger than a quarter. Cook another four or five minutes.

Fish out the broccoli and place in a blender. Add 1/2 cup of half and half for each cup of broccoli and one tablespoon of flour. Blend until smooth.

The Skinny Version:
