Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Check out this awesome broccoli cheddar soup recipe that takes just 30 minutes to make! It's like the ultimate hug for your taste buds, seriously. Imagine a creamy, cheesy goodness with tender veggies – that's what you're in for.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 medium-sized yellow onion, all chopped up
- ½ teaspoon of sea salt
- A dash of freshly ground black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped finely
- ¼ cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of whole milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups of vegetable broth
- 3 cups of chopped broccoli florets
- 1 large carrot, sliced up or finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon of Dijon mustard
- 8 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese (that's around 2 heaping cups)
- Optional but awesome: Homemade croutons for serving
Instructions
- Get a big pot or Dutch oven and melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion, add a pinch of salt and a few twists of black pepper. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until the onion is nice and soft. Add the garlic and cook it for an extra minute. Sprinkle in the flour, and whisk like a champ for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the flour gets all golden and toasty. Slowly pour in the milk while you keep on whisking.
- Now, add the veggie broth, broccoli, carrot, and that mustard. Give it all a good stir, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the broccoli gets tender.
- Little by little, toss in the cheese, stirring each time until it melts in all creamy-like. Season it just how you like it, and if you're feeling fancy, serve it up with those croutons. Yum!
