Cheesy Broccoli Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

2. 2

   Add Carrots and Broccoli

   Add the diced carrot and broccoli florets to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

3. 3

   Pour in Broth

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

5. 5

   Add Cream and Cheese

   Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

6. 6

   Season the Soup

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

7. 7

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with extra cheese or croutons.
