Broccoli cheddar soup
Ingredients:
• 1 large head of broccoli, chopped into florets
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups of chicken broth or vegetable broth
• 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the broccoli and broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the soup cook for about 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
• Using an immersion blender or a blender, puree the soup until smooth.
• Stir in the heavy cream and cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
