This broccoli and cheese soup is so creamy and delicious and only takes 20 minutes to make!
Ingredients
- One large head broccoli, chopped into small florets
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 large white (or yellow) onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 celery, chopped
- 1 cup matchstick carrots
- 1/3 cup of flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups chicken (or veggie) broth
- 2 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese *
- pinch of nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
Instructions
- Melt butter over med-high heat in dutch oven or large saucepan. Add garlic, celery, and onion. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent. Turn down to medium. Whisk in flour and sauté for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly so flour doesn't burn.
- Whisk in chicken broth until combined. Add milk, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and ground mustard. Stir until combined.
- Add broccoli and carrots and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let simmer for 10-12 minutes until broccoli is cooked through and soft. Remove from heat.
- Stir in freshly grated cheese by the handfuls until thoroughly combined. Serve with extra cheese on top, of desired.
Notes
* 2 cups freshly grated cheese is one 8oz block. Do not use already shredded cheese. It does melt smoothly.
I am gonna be honest here…. cheese almost anything soup is awesome. :) Brocilli and cauliflower are probably my favorite veggies to put in the cheese though.
Mine too!
