Broccoli & Cheddar Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sauté the vegetables

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

2. 2

   Cook the broccoli

   Add the chopped broccoli to the pot and stir for a few minutes. Then pour in 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

   Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches.

4. 4

   Add cheese and cream

   Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a traditional blender). Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream. Heat the soup gently until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.

5. 5

   Season and serve

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