How to make cream of broccoli soup:

Cut broccoli into 1/2-inch slices, paring main stems and removing leaves. In a medium saucepan, combine fresh broccoli and 1 cup water (1/2 cup for frozen) and steam uncovered for 15 minutes. In a large soup pot, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add onion and celery and cook until soft (about 6 minutes). Add flour and stir until thoroughly mixed. Slowly add chicken broth until mixture slightly thickens. Add broccoli and simmer 5 minutes. In small batches, puree soup in blender. Add cream, salt, pepper and tarragon. If desired, stir in 1 cup chopped ham and simmer. Serve with grated Cheddar cheese, sprinkled on top.
