Steps

1In dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat, then add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft.
2Add flour and stir to distribute. Cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
3Pour in chicken broth and stir. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
4Remove pot from heat and let cool slightly. Use immersion blender to blend soup in pot until mixture is smooth. Alternately, blend soup in regular blender until completely smooth - see Notes. Once mixture is smooth, return pot to heat and pour in heavy cream. Stir and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
5Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Portion soup into serving bowls and garnish with chopped chives. Serve warm.
