Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 carrots peeled and chopped
- 1 large head of broccoli cut into florets
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- salt and pepper
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- On the stove in a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and then sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Once the onions are cooked, sprinkle in the flour and use a whisk to slowly whisk in the half and half and stock.
- Add in the broccoli, carrots, and nutmeg and stir. Then replace back onto the stove, turn the heat down to medium-low, put the lid on, and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the broccoli is cooked, stir in the cheese and then taste and adjust the salt and pepper. Use a stick blender to blend the soup a little until still somewhat chunky, but this is your choice. Top with your choice of toppings and enjoy.
