- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 4 cups broccoli; chopped

Instructions
- In a large pot on medium heat, add olive oil, butter, chopped onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until browned. Add in broccoli, shredded carrot and milk. Let sit for 7-10 minutes or until broccoli is soft.

Notes
I highly recommend getting an immersion blender. I absolutely love mine and it is so convenient and easy to use when cooking. You can find them almost anywhere such as Macy's, Target, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
