Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup white onion , chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 large carrot , pilled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli , chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese , freshly-grated

Instructions

  • Heat butter in a dutch oven pot, over medium high heat, until melted. Add onions, garlic and carrots and saute, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes or until onions cook through and become transparent.
  • Stir in the flour and let cook for about 1 minute. Then, add the chicken stock and stir until it's all combined.
  • Stir in the cream, milk, broccoli, salt, pepper and nutmeg until all is combined. Bring up to a simmer.
  • Continue to simmer until broccoli is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add in and stir the freshly-grated cheddar cheese until it has melted and combined with the soup.
  • Serve warm with your favorite bread and/or salad.

Notes

  • Make this cheddar and broccoli soup vegetarian by using vegetable stock instead of chicken.
  • Make it gluten-free by using a GF flour.
  • Let the soup cool completely before storing or freezing.
  • If you have picky eaters, you can blend the soup before serving so that the veggies are hidden.
