From your responses it seems like you got some pretty good answers so far but if you ever have the time try this one. It's based off a roux so it takes time but well worth the wait.


1 pound of flour


16 oz of clarified butter ( melted till it is transparent)


1 quart heavy cream


Mix heavy cream with clarified butter then while stirring over a low flame slowly add the flower. Be advised not to dump it in but slowly mix it in.While cooking over a low flame.Stir regularly


3oz of black pepper


3oz of kosher salt


Now well you are waiting for the roux to meet consistency


1 pound of red potatoes diced


2 heads of broccoli and dice the them finely


1 pound of bacon cooked and crumbled


Boil the potatoes and steam the broccoli till soft.


This step I usually like to do before I make the roux for the simple fact when the consistency I like them to cook together so the flavors mesh and blend with the roux.


If you like add garlic or basil and oregano for extra flavor.
hi i wouldn't put to much broccoli in its very strong and will over power spuds
