Boursin broccoli soup

Ingredients

• •1/4 cup butter
• •2 large shallots, chopped
• •2 large carrots, chopped small (2 large chopped=1 cup)
• •1/4 cup all purpose flour
• •3 cup vegetable broth
• •1 1/2 cup whole milk
• •1 head broccoli, chopped into florets
• •5 oz Boursin Garlic & Herb cheese
• •3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• •1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps

1. 1In a large, heavy pot melt the butter over medium heat and stir in chopped shallots and carrots. Saute for about 2 minutes until they are fragrant and more tender, stirring often. Add flour and coat the vegetables. Pour in about 1/4-1/2 cup of broth and whisk till the flour gets incorporated and smooth. Then add the rest of the broth as well as the whole milk. Bring to a low simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken. Do not start to boil, otherwise your milk might curdle (especially if using a low fat option instead).
2. 2Add the broccoli florets and cook for another 5 minutes until softened. Off the heat, stir in Boursin cheese until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust any seasonings, like salt and pepper if needed.
