How to Make It

Step 1: Sauté the Onion & Garlic

In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Toss in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 2: Cook the Broccoli

Pour in the broth (or water) and add the broccoli florets. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, until the broccoli is soft.

Step 3: Blend It Up

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If you like a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup and leave some broccoli pieces whole.

Step 4: Make It Extra Creamy

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, then mix in the shredded cheddar until it’s fully melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Pour into bowls, top with extra cheddar if you’re feeling fancy, and enjoy!
