Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion , shredded or finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot , shredded or finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk , shredded or finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups water
- ½ lb (about 4 cups) broccoli florets , cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon Knorr Granulated Chicken Bouillon
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 8 oz (1 cup) heavy cream

Instructions
- In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots—season with chicken bouillon, pepper and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 to 6 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
