  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium stock pot over medium heat. Saute onion and celery until tender.
  • Add broccoli and broth, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use an immersion blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
