Ingredients
- 1 Bunch Broccoli
- 5 Cups Chicken Broth [If you have no chicken broth you can use chicken bouillon cubes, and if you have none of those you can just use water but I would recommend adding some extra spices]
- 1/4 Cup butter
- 2 Medium Onions, Chopped
- 2 Ribs Celery, Chopped
- 1 Clove Garlic, minced [You could add more if you want but this soup already has such a great flavor you wouldn't want to mask it too much!]
- 1/2 Cup Whole wheat Flour
- 4 Cups Milk
- 1/2 tsp Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Marjoram
- Salt and Pepper to taste
