Equipment

Ingredients
  

Vegetables:

  • 2 cups broccoli florets roughly chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced

Dairy:

  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk

Liquid:

  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup water optional, for thinning the soup

Thickener:

Seasoning:

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnish:

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics:

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

Add the Vegetables:

  • Stir in the diced potatoes, broccoli, and carrots. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Build the Base:

  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Add Liquid:

  • Gradually pour in the broth while stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes).

Blend the Soup:

  • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup, leaving some vegetables intact.

Add Cheese and Cream:

  • Stir in the grated cheese, heavy cream, and paprika. Allow the cheese to melt completely, stirring continuously. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Adjust Consistency:

  • If the soup is too thick, add water or broth in small amounts until the desired consistency is achieved.

Serve and Garnish:

  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra shredded cheese, if desired.

Notes

More Tips For A Slight Twist

  • Roast the broccoli and carrots before adding them to the soup if you want a slightly more depth of flavor.
  • Substitute cheddar cheese with Gouda or Gruyère for a different taste
