- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups broccoli florets (about 1 pound)
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
- Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.
- Add the milk to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- For a richer soup, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cayenne pepper for extra flavor.
- If you don’t have a high-powered blender, you can use an immersion blender directly in the pot.
