Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 cups, shredded Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add minced garlic to the pot and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the gluten-free all-purpose flour over the onions and garlic, stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook the flour.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while whisking continuously to remove any lumps.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.
Stir in the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
