30 Minute Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Quick and Easy Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 head of broccoli, chopped into florets
• 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Sauté Aromatics:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
   • Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté them until they become fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Cook Broccoli:
   • Toss in the chopped broccoli florets and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
   • Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the broccoli to become tender and flavorful.
3. Blend the Soup:
   • Once the broccoli is soft, it’s time to blend the soup. You can use an immersion blender directly in the pot for convenience, or transfer the soup in batches to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
   • Note: If using a blender or food processor, be sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending and work in batches to avoid any accidents with hot liquid splattering.
4. Add Cream and Cheese:
   • Return the blended soup to the pot if necessary and place it back over medium heat.
   • Stir in the heavy cream and grated cheddar cheese, allowing them to melt into the soup and create a rich, velvety texture. Keep stirring until the cheese is fully incorporated.
5. Season and Serve:
   • Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preferences.
   • Once everything is well combined and heated through, your broccoli cheddar soup is ready to serve.
   • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional grated cheese or chopped fresh herbs if desired.
6. Enjoy:
   • Enjoy this comforting and satisfying soup as a quick and delicious meal on a busy day.
