Easy Healthy Chicken Broccoli Soup #dinner #soup

On cold evenings there's simply nothing superior to having a steaming bowl of tasty soup to warm you up and this simple, solid chicken broccoli soup resembles an embrace in a bowl. It's velvety and loaded with surface while not being excessively substantial or overloaded with cream or a flour base.

I utilize a cornstarch slurry to thicken the soup somewhat yet that is absolutely discretionary. Different approaches to thicken the soup is to include some pureed potatoes or by pureeing 33% of the soup and blending it once again into the pot. The milk includes smoothness yet can likewise be substituted with a without dairy form or essentially utilize chicken stock. It's the sort of formula that meets up rapidly (on account of the rotisserie chicken) with straightforward however make sure to make a major pot since this is genuinely useful for lunch the following day.

Begin by sautéing onion, celery, carrot and hacked broccoli stalks until delicate and fragrant at that point include garlic and flavoring. Include chicken stock, milk and cornflour blend (discretionary to thicken) and bring to a stew at that point include the broccoli and destroyed chicken and permit to cook until the broccoli is delicate. Season to taste and present with dry bread.
