Cream of Broccoli Soup | Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

I heard you like to learn new cooking techniques, so here’s a new one for you: veloute. It’s basically a fancy way to say “stock that’s been thickened with roux” (a combination of butter and flour). And what does that do? It makes a thick, creamy soup base that doesn’t rely on actual cream. (Though sometimes I do like to finish with a just touch of cream for added richness.)

Watch how easy it is to make veloute. Once you get the technique down, you can apply it in endless ways. I’ll show you how to make cream of broccoli today, but why not try cream of leek or cream of carrot? Or, feeling classic? Make a cream of mushroom soup. Or cream of spinach! What’s your favorite?
