Broccoli Cheddar Soup
This broccoli cheddar soup is warm, comforting, and delicious. I love adding EXTRA broccoli to make it more nutritious. I used 4 cups of florets, but feel free to use more or less.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup butter
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
- ¼ cup flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 4 cups chopped broccoli florets
- 2 ½ cups cheddar cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in the flour until evenly incorporated.
- Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Add the chicken broth and broccoli florets. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes until the broccoli softens.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese, followed by the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Taste and add additional salt as necessary. Enjoy!
