Cream of Broccoli soup

I meant to post this recipe several days ago, on St Patty's Day actually. It was kinda funny. For breakfast I had my usual green smoothie (made with a spinach base and just rocks! SO healthy for you and incredibly tasty). Then for lunch, I had some leftover cream of broccoli soup I had made and just laughed how all my meals were "green". So not intentional! Of course for dinner we had the typical St Patty's meal of corned beef at cabbage at my parents house.

This soup is one my kids all give a thumbs up approval for. It's super easy to make and doesn't take long at all. I've made some changes to the original recipe cuz that's how I roll!

Cream of Broccoli Soup
3-4c chopped broccoli
1c chopped mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic, minced.
4c chicken broth (or base)
4 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
16oz sour cream (i've also used light cream in place of this)

Saute broccoli, garlic & mushrooms in 2 Tbsp butter. Add 3 1/2 c of broth. In a skillet, melt 2Tbsp butter, add flour, salt & pepper and 1/2c chicken broth till thick. Then stir in sour cream. Add to the rest of the mix and heat.
