In a 6-quart stockpot over medium heat, saute broccoli and onions in olive oil for 10 minutes, stirring frequently until they begin to soften and caramelize. Add garlic and saute for about 3 minutes more; stirring constantly. Add flour and stir until vegetables are coated. Add chicken stock and milk and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before pureeing.  Garnish and serve.
