Easy One Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Easy One Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 9 minutes
Total Time: 19 minutes
Servings: 1 cup servings
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic, (minced)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 cups no salt added chicken broth, (or vegetable broth)
- 1 1/2 cups half and half, (or heavy cream)
- 3 cups broccoli, (cut into small florets)
- 1 rib celery, (sliced or diced)
- 2 small carrots, (sliced or julienned)
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt, (more or less, to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, (more or less, to taste)
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, (freshly grated recommended. Pre-shredded won't melt well.)
- Garnishment:
- freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the butter. Once melted and bubbling, add the diced onion and celery. Sauté until onion is translucent - 3 to 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook 30-60 seconds, stirring.
- Whisk in flour and cook 1-2 minutes until light or golden brown. Pour in the chicken broth and half and half, whisking continuously until no clumps remain.
- Season with ground mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well, stirring until it has thickened slightly.
- Add the broccoli and carrots, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the broccoli is fork tender.
- Use an immersion blender (if desired) to reduce the soup to the consistency you prefer. If not, you can skip this step. I prefer my soups chunky with vegetables, so I did not do this.
- Gradually add in the grated cheddar cheese 1/2 cup at a time, constantly stirring until all of the cheese is added and melted.
- Remove from heat. Adjust salt and pepper seasonings, if desired.
- Serve garnished with cheddar cheese, chives, or toppings of choice!
