Creamy, cheesy, and comforting Broccoli Cheddar Soup, perfect for quick dinners or cozy lunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Slice the carrots thin, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
  2. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Slowly whisk in the broth to avoid lumps. Add the milk and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the carrots and broccoli. Simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes or until tender.
  6. Reduce heat and add shredded cheese one handful at a time, stirring until fully melted.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using. Serve warm with optional toppings or bread.
