A simple and creamy broccoli cheese soup that comes together quickly with pantry-friendly ingredients, perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the butter. When melted, add the chopped onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the broccoli florets and vegetable broth, bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a countertop blender, cool slightly and blend in batches; return soup to the pot.
  5. Stir in the cream and shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time, stirring until melted and smooth.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If too thick, stir in extra broth or milk.
  7. Ladle into bowls and serve warm with crusty bread or a sandwich for dipping.

Notes

For a silkier finish, strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve after blending. Shred your own cheddar for the best melting.
