Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 small potatoes, thinly sliced
2 cups fresh chopped broccoli
1.5 cups chicken broth
0.25 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
0.5 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

In a saucepan, melt butter gently, ensuring it doesn't brown. Introduce onion, potato, and broccoli, tossing to evenly coat with the melted butter. Employing the 'sweating' technique, press parchment paper over the vegetables to enhance their flavor. Cover the pan and simmer at a low heat until the vegetables soften, avoiding any browning.
Take out and throw away the parchment paper. Pour in chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, lower the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables achieve a tender consistency.
Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until it reaches a smooth and velvety texture. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the cream. Gently simmer until heated through, being careful not to boil, which can cause the cream to curdle.
