1
Chop the Vegetables
Wash and chop the broccoli florets into small pieces. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

2
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3
Add Broccoli and Broth
Stir in the chopped broccoli florets and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
4
Blend the Mixture
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
5
Add Milk and Cheese
Return the blended soup to the pot, and stir in the milk. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated.
6
Season the Soup
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and heat for an additional 5 minutes until warm.

7
Serve the Soup
Ladle the soup into bowls. Optionally, garnish with additional cheddar cheese or a sprinkle of black pepper before serving.
