Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Onion (diced)
- 1 packet Soup or sauce mix (cheese-flavored or cream-based)
- 3 cups Milk
- 2 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces if using fresh broccoli. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the soup or sauce mix to the pot and stir well until it’s fully combined with the onions and butter.
Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken or vegetable stock, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and stir to combine. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers, and enjoy your creamy broccoli cheese soup!
