Ingredients

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crumbled bacon and green onions (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until softened.
  • Stir in flour to make a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in broth and bring to a simmer. Add diced potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Stir in broccoli and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender.
  • Use a potato masher or immersion blender to blend the soup slightly for a creamier texture.
  • Stir in milk, heavy cream, and shredded cheddar cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with optional bacon and green onions as garnish.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, add extra cheese or reduce the amount of milk.
  • To make it gluten-free, use cornstarch instead of flour.
  • You can blend the entire soup for a smoother texture or leave it chunky for more bite.
