Broccoli Cheddar Soup | Creamy, Cheesy and Comforting Homemade Soup Recipe

0 likes 0 reviews 37 views

Broccoli Cheddar Soup is a rich and creamy classic made with fresh broccoli, sharp cheddar cheese, and a flavorful blend of vegetables simmered in a velvety broth. This comforting soup is perfect for cozy lunches, family dinners, or chilly evenings.

Tender broccoli florets are cooked with onions, carrots, garlic, and a creamy base that enhances their natural flavor. Sharp cheddar cheese melts smoothly into the soup, creating a rich, cheesy texture with every spoonful.

The combination of fresh vegetables and creamy cheese produces a hearty soup that's both satisfying and nourishing. A touch of seasoning balances the flavors while keeping the broccoli as the star ingredient.

Serve Broccoli Cheddar Soup with crusty bread, garlic toast, or a fresh green salad for a complete and comforting meal that's easy to prepare and loved by all ages.

Cooking Method

Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and grated carrot, cooking for another minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the broth until smooth.
Add the broccoli florets and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Stir in the milk and heavy cream, then heat gently without boiling.
Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika if desired.
Blend part of the soup with an immersion blender for a creamier texture, leaving some broccoli pieces intact if preferred.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
