Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2 pounds broccoli florets roughly chopped into 1 inch pieces, and stems cut into 1/4 inch slices.
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- pinch of cayenne pepper optional
- Kosher salt for taste
- 3-4 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups baby spinach loosely packed
- 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated (extra for topping soup)
Instructions
- Heat butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. When foaming subsides, add broccoli, onion, garlic, dry mustard, cayenne, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cook, stirring until fragrant for about minutes. Add 1 cup water and baking soda (this speeds cooking to keep the florets bright green). Bring to simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Stir once at 10 minutes.
- Add broth and 2 cups of water and turn up the heat to medium-high. When it begins to simmer, stir in the spinach and cook until it begins to wilt, about 1 minute.
- Add cheeses and process with an immersion blender. Add last cup of water if needed to suit the consistency you prefer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top with croutons and parmesan cheese if you would like.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer half of the soup to a blender with the cheese and puree. Place in a bowl and puree remaining soup. Transfer all ingredients back to Dutch oven and adjust consistency of soup with up to 1 cup of water.
