Instructions
- 1
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Add the onion and ½ tsp salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, mustard powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the broccoli florets, diced potato, and chicken broth. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer. Cook uncovered until the broccoli is completely tender and the potato is soft enough to crush easily with a spoon, 12–15 minutes.
