Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick or enameled cast-iron saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the potatoes, bay leaves and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so that the broth is simmering. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
- Place the flour in a medium-sized bowl. While whisking, slowly pour in the milk. Whisk until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Stir the milk-flour mixture into the soup, along with the broccoli florets. Return to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the Cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and combined.
- Taste the soup. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve.
Notes
- Note 1: Russet potatoes can be substitute for the Yukon Golds. If using russets, I suggest peeling them before using.
- Note 2: For a non-vegetarian version, feel free to substitute with vegetable broth. The sodium content varies depending on the brand of vegetable broth you choose. I used the Kroger Simple Truth vegetable broth.
