Default Broccoli Zucchini Cream Soup

I havent tried this yet but got this recipe off a foreign magazine.
I did my best to translate it
either way it sounds good and if you make it and find the quantities need adjusting please let me know.

*I am not sure if they meant heavy cream or sour cream since they just said cream for cooking. Heavy cream is normally known as sweet cream and sour cream as just cream but they are the same word. I assumed heavy cream but sour cream might be interesting too.

There is also 2Tbsp of flour thats supposed to be added to this recipe. I just skipped it.

1 bunch of broccoli flowerettes
3/4 stick of butter
3Tbsp Olive oil
2 finely chopped onions
4 cloves of garlic
5 zucchinis sliced with the peel still on
1 celery root
5-6 cups of Veg broth
1c milk (I counted it as carb coundown in my fitday)
1c Heavy cream*
8Tbsp Parmesan cheese (or to taste)

Boil the broccoli for 10 minutes then remove.
In a heavy pot add the butter and oil
fry onions and garlic for 5 minutes then add the zucchini, celery root, broccoli salt and pepper (and flour)
add broth and simmer for 45 minutes
Using a hand blender mush it all together then add milk and cream mixing it.
Top with parmesan cheese in bowl.
