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
 

  1. 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.
  2. Remove 1 cup of vegetables, coarsely chop, and set aside. Using an immersion blender, blend remaining vegetables and broth.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
