Measure and prepare all ingredients as specified.

Heat a suitable pot over medium-high heat, then add the butter and garlic. Cook just until you get the aroma. Add the onions and celery, and stir to combine evenly. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften and begin to brown.

Add the flour, and stir to incorporate evenly. Cook the flour, stirring, for 1 minute, then add 2 cups of the broth, and stir. The mixture will become very thick very quickly. Continue stirring until smooth. Add the remaining broth, and stir to combine evenly. Add the salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.

Add the chopped broccoli and stir. Return to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, simmering, for 25 minutes, or until the broccoli is completly soft.

Remove from the heat, and puree in the Vita-mix. Place the top on the canister, then COVER THE CANISTER WITH A DRY TOWEL. When the air in the canister gets hot, it will expand. The top can blow off! Hold the top tightly for the first few seconds of processing. Pour the pureed soup into a sieve, and press through with the back of a ladle. At this point, the soup is done. If making a batch, cool the base. Add blanched garnish broccoli and grated cheese when you reheat the soup.

Prepare the broccoli garnish. Heat a suitable pot of salted water over high heat, then add the florettes. Cook until soft, about three minutes, then drain. Add to the soup base or cool to use later.

Add the wine, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the alcohol evaporates, about ten minutes.


Meanwhile, combine the water with the clam base, and whisk to dissolve.


Add to the pot along with the milk, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, stirring to avoid scorching, then reduce to a simmer. Add the room temperature roux to the simmering mixture, then whisk briskly to distribute evenly. The soup will begin to thicken immediately.


Whisk until smooth, then add the potatoes. Continue to cook until the potatoes become soft, about fifteen minutes. Remove from the heat, add the frozen clams, black pepper, tabasco and lime. Stir to combine, then cool in an ice bath using an ice wand. When completely cool (70 F,) transfer to a cambro, label, date, initial and cover tightly. Store refrigerated until needed.
