Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 3 cups chopped broccoli
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sautéing until soft.
- Add broth, potatoes, and broccoli to the pot. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and flour until smooth. Gradually stir into the soup. Cook until the soup thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to puree directly in the pot to your desired consistency.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil, the milk with a plant-based alternative, and use vegan cheese.
- Add additional cheese on top before serving for extra richness.
