4 Tbsp butter

1 large onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4-6 cups broccoli, cut into florets

2 cups chicken broth

2 cups half and half

½ tsp salt

Pepper, to taste

¼ cup flour, optional

½ cup creme fraiche

In a stockpot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook until translucent. Add in the garlic, broccoli, chicken broth, half and half, and seasonings. Cook until the broccoli is soft and cooked through. Puree in a blender in batches. Return to the stockpot and stir in the flour if a thicker soup is desired, stir until warmed through.
