Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chopped broccoli
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sautéing the Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter starts bubbling, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Creating the Roux: Stir in the all-purpose flour with the sautéed onions and garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Whisking in the Liquids: Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth and milk, cooking until the mixture is thickened and smooth.
- Simmering the Broccoli: Add the chopped broccoli along with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer until the broccoli is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Melting the Cheese: Once the broccoli is tender, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the soup.
- Final Seasoning and Serving: Adjust your seasoning with extra salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of extra cheese.
