Homemade Broccoli Cheese Soup

Here’s what you’ll need to create this creamy and cheesy delight:

Homemade Broccoli Cheese Soup

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Optional: croutons or additional cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the broccoli florets to the pot and pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
  3. Once the broccoli is cooked, use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier soup, blend only half of it.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and flour until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the soup, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
  5. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the pot, stirring until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together. If the soup is too thick, you can add more broth to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with croutons or more cheese if desired. Enjoy your homemade broccoli cheese soup with some crusty bread for a complete meal!
