Broccoli Cheese Soup
Report
Broccoli cheese soup tends to be a crowd favorite. This soup is thick, creamy, cheesy, and easy to make. I love the flavor that the Swiss cheese adds.

Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 /4 cup butter (4 tablespoons)
- 1 small onion, diced finely (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/4 /4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups milk
- 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, preferably sharp or extra sharp
- 1/2 /2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Cook the broccoli in a glass bowl with a few tablespoons of water covered in saran wrap in the microwave for 3-4 minutes while you prepare the rest of the soup.
- In a medium pot, melt butter then add the onions. Cook for a few minutes until soft. Add the flour, salt and pepper. Cook together, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes then slowly whisk in milk and chicken broth. Heat on medium heat until soup starts to thicken, about 5-8 minutes. The soup will still be thin until you add the cheese in the next step.
- Reduce heat to very low and add cheeses and stir until completely melted. Stir in cooked broccoli. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if needed. If you need to thin it out you can whisk in some more milk or chicken broth. If it's too thin, you can simmer it a bit longer to thicken it up.
- Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
