1 qt. fresh broccoli
2/3 c. butter
1/2 c. flour
3 c. warm water
2 c. hot chicken broth
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 c. heavy cream
3 egg yolks

Wash broccoli, trim and slice. In a large saucepan, cook broccoli in the butter until soft. Blend in flour and simmer until smooth and bubbling, stirring occasionally. Add next five ingredients, stirring constantly until smooth and thick. Remove from burner. Stir in remaining cream, return to burner and bring just to a boil.

Beat egg yolks in a small bowl. Whisk a little of the hot soup into beaten yolk. Pour egg mixture into soup, stirring constantly. Taste for salt and adjust.
