Ingredients:
4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
1 tbsp butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cook the Broccoli: In a large pot, bring the broth to a simmer. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender.
SautΓ© Veggies: In another pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautΓ©ing until soft (about 5 minutes).
Make the Soup Base: Pour in the milk and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked broccoli (and some of the broth if you like it smoother) and stir.
Add the Cheese: Gradually stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add a bit of Dijon mustard for a slight tang, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Blend (Optional): For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender or regular blender to blend part or all of the soup.
Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra cheese or fresh herbs for that extra touch. Enjoy! π
