Broccoli Cheddar Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

2. 2

   Add Broccoli and Broth

   Add the broccoli florets to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it 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, transfer the mixture to a blender in batches 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, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy your creamy broccoli cheddar soup!
