Yields: 4 servings


Tools:

Ingredients: 


2 tablespoons unsalted butter 

1 medium onion, chopped

2 tablespoons all purpose flour

4 cups chicken stock

1 small head broccoli, cut into florets

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter, add the chopped onion and stir occasionally until translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour, cook for 1 minute until the flour is golden and has a slightly nutty aroma.


Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until combined. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Add in the broccoli florets, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 9 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
