Broccoli White Cheddar Soup
Report
A delicious, hearty, cozy soup like this Broccoli White Cheddar Soup is a recipe I want to slurp all winter long. With plenty of vegetables blended into the base with both sharp and white cheddar cheese, you’re going to pass on Panera’s version again and again.

Instructions
- Start by preparing the ingredients. Use a cheese grater to shred fresh cheddar cheese and white cheddar cheese. Set aside. Use a vegetable chopper to finely dice white onion, carrots, and celery. Wash, strain, and remove stalks from the head of cauliflower and broccoli. Break the head into small pieces with your hands (this is less messy than chopping!).
- Steam the broccoli in the microwave by placing chopped pieces in a microwave-safe bowl and pour ¼ cup of water over the top. Cover with a paper towel or plate, and microwave on high for 2-4 minutes until broccoli is tender.
- Heat a large pot to medium heat. Add the butter, minced garlic, diced onions, celery, and carrots, Sauté for 6-8 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add in cauliflower with the vegetable broth. Place the lid on the pot and allow the cauliflower to steam for 7-10 minutes or until very soft.
- Turn the heat to low, and use an immersion blender to blend everything in the pot together until smooth.
- Slowly pour in the milk and shredded cheese. Whisk it until all cheese is melted. Then add the flour a bit at a time and continue to whisk to thicken the base. Add in all of the seasonings and stir.
- Fold in broccoli to the soup. Cover with the lid and place soup on low. Allow it to simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the broccoli is tender.
- Serve with a slice of fresh, warm bread and with more cheese / cracked pepper on top. Enjoy!

Notes
- I recommend shredding your own cheese! It'll melt better and result in a better soup consistency.
- Topping suggestions: Crushed crackers, homemade croutons, extra cheese, nutritional yeast, etc. Not a topping, but try serving it in a bread bowl!
- Store in the fridge for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
