PROCESS:
On medium-high heat, melt the butter with garlic olive oil in a large soup pot.
Add the garlic and onion. Cook on medium-low for 2 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the carrots and broccoli. Cook for another 5 minutes, until onions have some color. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add cream and mix well. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Let this cook for approximately 15 minutes, until the broccoli is fork tender. Remove from heat.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until all of the vegetables are pureed and the soup is smooth with a bit of texture for bite.
