Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté the Base Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing them until the onion becomes translucent and soft.
- Add Vegetables and Broth To the softened onions and garlic, add the broccoli florets and diced potatoes. Stir in the broth, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer the Soup Once boiling, reduce the heat to allow the soup to simmer gently. Continue cooking for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables become tender.
- Blend the Soup Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender, puree, and return to the pot.
- Add Cheese and Cream Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it completely melts into the soup. Follow with the milk or cream, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
