BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
It’s rich and indulgent, full of fresh flavor and has some extra texture from tender broccoli florets. Easy to make and super tasty!
Ingredients
- 2 tsp butter for frying
- 1 yellow onion minced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 kg broccoli fresh or frozen doesn’t matter
- 1 liter stock of your choice I used umami but vegetable or chicken is great
- 2 dl half and half or light cream or just milk
- 150 g grated cheddar cheese use any sharp cheese
Instructions
- Dice onions and broccoli into pieces. Heat butter in a saucepan and fry the onion and garlic until translucent not browned. Add 700 g of the broccoli and fry a little more. Leave the rest to cook when the soup is done, for some extra crisp.
- Pour over stock and let simmer under cover for about 20-30 min. Then mix the soup with a hand mixer or blender.
- Poor back in the casserole add the cream and remaining broccoli and let the soup simmer for 5-10 min.
- Add the grated cheese, stir until the cheese melts and then turn off the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with the desired accessory like shredded ham, shredded cheese, pea shoots, seeds or whatever you like on top. Or add some nice bread or a salad.
