Cheesy Broccoli Soup is perfect for lunch or dinner! This delicious creamy soup is full of cheese and good for you ingredients.

I made this Cheesy Broccoli Soup last weekend for lunch.  It was a perfect soup for lunch.  My whole family loved it, although they were a bit skeptical at first.  I convinced them all to just try a bite.  After the first bite, they had a bowl and then came back for seconds.  Ahhh….if they just had faith in me from the get-go!

Well, I must admit, I have made some food that hasn’t always been a hit.  But this cheesy broccoli soup is a winner!

This soup is made with some pretty simple ingredients.  Broccoli (of course).  Carrots to add a bit of sweetness.  Onions and garlic just because you need the flavor.  Milk or half-n-half and cheese!  I used a mild cheddar cheese, but a sharp cheddar would be delicious.  Okay, there are a few other ingredients too. You just have to read the recipe!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 small onion (chopped)
• 2 carrots (chopped)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1/4 cup flour
• 4 cups broccoli (chopped)
• 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instructions

 

• In a large pot, sautee butter, onions and carrots 5-7 minutes.
• Add garlic and flour. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring so mixture won't burn.
• Add broth, and broccoli. Cook over high until broccoli is tender. About 10 minutes.
• Use an immersion blender and puree mixture just until large chunks are broken up.
• Whisk in milk and bring back up to a simmer.
• Add salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Slowly mix in cheese. Stir until melted.
• Serve immediately.

Notes

Shred you own cheese instead of purchasing pre-shredded. Pre-shredded cheese can have an additive so the cheese won't clump together. This additive can prohibit the melting of the cheese.
I used 2% milk. Can also use half-n-half
