Cream of Broccoli Soup
This is an easy and satisfying soup. I love to have a cup of soup before dinner as a way to add an extra vegetable and get in all the nutrients from bone broth.
Enjoy!

Ingredients
4 Tablespoons butter
1 ½ cups chopped celery
1 cup coarsely chopped onions
1 ½ pounds broccoli, trimmed and chopped
¼ cup flour
4 cups bone broth

Fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat.

Stir in broccoli. Cover and cook about 5 minutes.
Stir in flour. Turn the heat to high.
Slowly stir in bone broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, partially covered, until the broccoli is tender, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use an immersion blender or food processor to process until smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
