Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter 28 g
- 1 cup diced yellow onion about 1 onion
- 1 cup diced carrots 140 g
- 1 cup diced celery 140 g
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour 30 g
- 6 cups vegetable broth 1.4 L
- 4 cups bite-sized broccoli florets about ½ head
- 4 cups bite-sized cauliflower florets about ½ head
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 114 g
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Flavor Base: Set a large pot over medium heat. Add butter, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Stir and cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Soupify: Stir in flour to evenly coat the veggies. Stir in broth, broccoli, and cauliflower. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and let cook until broccoli is fork-tender.
- Blend: Scoop about half of the fillings from the pot. Blend the half that remains until smooth (using either a handheld immersion blender, or by carefully transferring to a countertop blender*). Stir reserved solids back into soup.
- Finish: Stir in cheese and mustard. Taste and add salt as needed. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese, crusty bread, and/or a dollop of sour cream.

Notes
- *If using a countertop blender, do not fully cover while blending. This can lead to dangerous build up of steam.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
