Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 slices bacon, diced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 large leeks, chopped

  • 3 stalks celery, chopped

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 3 cups chicken stock

  • 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed

  • 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • ½ teaspoon fennel seed, crushed

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 3 cups broccoli florets

  • 2 ½ cups whole milk

  • 3 green onions, chopped (Optional)

Directions

  1. Cook bacon and oil in a large pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon is golden brown and has released its grease, about 7 minutes. Add leeks, celery, onion, and butter; cook and stir until leeks have softened, about 7 minutes.

  2. Add stock, potatoes, herbes de Provence, pepper, coriander, fennel, and salt; increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are just beginning to turn tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in broccoli and simmer for 5 minutes. Add milk and continue simmering until vegetables are tender, about 5 more minutes.

  3. Purée soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish individual servings with green onions.
