Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (along with their juices) and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes while stirring frequently to melt the cheese and fully incorporate the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
