  • Melt butter in a saucepan; do not brown. Add onion, potato, and broccoli; toss to coat with butter. Press parchment paper over the vegetables; this is called "sweating" and adds better flavor. Cover the pan and simmer very gently until vegetables have softened; do not brown.
  • Remove and discard the parchment paper. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until vegetables are soft.
  • Purée with an immersion blender until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and cream. Simmer gently until heated through; do not boil or cream will curdle.
