Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 3 cups broccoli florets about 1 medium head
  • 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup milk whole or 2%
  • 0.5 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.25 tsp paprika optional for extra flavor

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the broccoli florets and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunky texture, blend only half the soup.
  • Stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese or freshly ground black pepper if desired.

Notes

This soup is delicious with a crusty bread or salad on the side. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
