Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets (chopped small)
  • 1 large carrot (shredded or finely chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Saute Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  2. Create Roux: Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking to avoid lumps, then add the milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add Vegetables: Add the chopped broccoli, shredded carrot, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender.
  4. Melt Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time, mixing until smooth and melted. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to puree part of the soup before adding the cheese.
  • You can also substitute half-and-half for the milk for extra richness.
  • Frozen broccoli can be used in place of fresh in a pinch.
