Instructions
1
Cut the broccoli heads into florets and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
2
In a large pot, melt two tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant.

Whisk in the heavy cream and flour. Cook the mixture briefly while whisking until it begins to thicken.
