It’s impossible to imagine a more soothing soup than broccoli cheddar. Our dish is thick, substantial, cheesy, and just rich enough to be a go-to comfort food meal on cold and frigid nights.
Ingredients:
1 large head of broccoli, chopped into florets
1 small onion, diced
4 cups of chicken broth or vegetable broth
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup of heavy cream
2 tablespoons of butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the broccoli and broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the soup cook for about 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Using an immersion blender or a blender, puree the soup until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream and cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional cheddar cheese if desired.
Enjoy!
