Cheesy Vegetable Chowder

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets (or frozen)
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and broccoli florets to the pot. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Once the vegetables are cooked, carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a blender; remember to let it cool slightly before blending.
  4. Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add shredded cheddar cheese, mixing well until melted and incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Let the chowder heat through for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the chowder gets too thick, you can add more broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy this hearty soup with some crusty bread or crackers!

This cheesy vegetable chowder is not just a meal; it’s a perfect way to warm your home and nourish your soul. Make a big batch, and it’s bound to be a crowd-pleaser that keeps everyone coming back for more. Enjoy!
