Broccoli Cheddar Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Broccoli and Broth

   Stir in the broccoli florets and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

3. 3

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.

4. 4

   Add Cream and Cheese

   Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheddar cheese if desired.
