Ingredients

1 medium onion, diced
2 celery ribs, minced
2 heads broccoli, broken into florets
2 23 ounces country gravy mix
garlic powder, as needed
salt, as needed
ground black pepper, as needed

Directions

1

In a dutch oven or other large vessel, put the diced onion, celery ribs - I like to peel the stringy stuff off the back of each rib before mincing (the celery is optional), and the broccoli florets.
2

Add water to cover.
3

Bring water to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 30 minutes until the onion is very tender.
4

Take one packet of country gravy mix (the white kind of gravy) and put it into a smallish mixing bowl.
5

Add 1/3 - 1/2 cup water and stir until the lumps are gone and you have a very thick gravy.
6

Stir the gravy into the soup and mix well.
7

If the soup is still too runny, repeat with one more packet of country gravy mix.
8

Add garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper as needed, a little at a time.

If the soup is too thick, add a little cream, half-and-half or milk.
