Using an immersion blender, blend the soup to your desired consistency, leaving some small chunks of broccoli if preferred.
Lower the heat and stir in the cream cheese until it melts completely.
Add the heavy cream while stirring constantly to ensure a smooth texture.
Slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously, until fully melted and integrated into the soup.
