Bowl of Easy Gluten-Free Broccoli Cheese Soup

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (gluten-free)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and shredded carrots to the pot. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the fresh broccoli florets and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
  4. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. You can also transfer it in batches to a regular blender—just be careful of the hot liquid!
  5. Return the blended soup to the pot, and stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
  7. Serve hot, topped with additional cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
