Add onion, celery, thyme, oregano, basil, and garlic; saute 10 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Reduce heat to low; add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until flour is absorbed and rolls easily from edge of pan.
Add vegetable or chicken broth to vegetables and stir until all flour is dissolved. Simmer for at least 30 minutes.
Add broccoli and simmer another 20 minutes; stir in dairy creamer and salt. Remove from heat and serve in soup bowls.
