Instructions

In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add diced potatoes and broth to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Add broccoli florets to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency (you can leave it slightly chunky or blend it smooth).
Stir in heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Gradually add shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half or milk for the heavy cream.
If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend more of the potatoes and broccoli.
Leftover soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated on the stove.
For extra flavor, top the soup with extra shredded cheese or crispy bacon bits before serving.
You can add other vegetables, such as carrots or celery, for added texture and nutrition.
For a vegetarian version, ensure you're using vegetable broth.
You can freeze the soup for up to 1 month, though the texture may change slightly upon reheating.
Make the soup spicier by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
