Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 1/2 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/3 cups chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 1/2 cups peeled and cubed russet potatoes
  • 3 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk (1% or 2%)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt half of the butter over medium heat. Add chopped carrots, celery, and onion; sauté for about 4 minutes until softened.
