  • Let's start with the broccoli. Cut off the stems and chop them finely, then break the head into small florets. Set a 3-quart (3-liter) pot over medium heat and melt the butter in it. Add the onion and sauté, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes. Now add the broccoli stems and florets, the chicken broth, salt, pepper, thyme, nutmeg, and about 2 cups (500 ml) of water. Bring everything to a boil over high heat and cook for about 15 minutes. Working in batches, ladle a little of the soup into a blender and purée it, transferring each batch to a bowl as you go. Once all the soup is puréed, rinse out the pot, return the soup to it, stir in the cream, and warm it over medium heat — don't let it come to a boil. And that's it — the soup is ready!
