Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, diced
1 cup diced carrot
3 cups broccoli florets
2 cups chicken broth
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Method

In a large saucepan, cook butter, onion, and carrots over medium heat until onion softens (about 3 minutes). Add broccoli, chicken broth, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until broccoli is tender, about 8 minutes.
Remove 1 cup of vegetables, coarsely chop, and set aside. Using an immersion blender, blend remaining vegetables and broth.
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and a small amount of the blended soup until a smooth paste forms. Gradually whisk in the remaining blended soup. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in shredded cheese and reserved chopped vegetables, and serve immediately.

Notes

– Use fresh broccoli for the best flavor and texture.
– If you like a thicker soup, blend more of the vegetables.
– Experiment by adding other veggies like cauliflower or spinach for variety.
