Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 medium, chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups, shredded Sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream 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 chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté for about 3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and allow the soup to heat through on low heat, about 3 minutes.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and cream cheese to the pot, stirring consistently until both cheeses are fully melted and incorporated into the soup.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, adjusting to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese or a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired.
