Ingredients
- 40 grams salted butter
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots peeled and finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 bay leaf optional
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 500 ml 2 cups milk skim or full cream
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 medium head of broccoli approx. 400grams
- 625 ml 2 ½ cups vegetable or chicken stock
- 1 Tbsp chicken or vegetable bouillon powder or one stock cube
- 160 grams Mature Cheddar cheese grated or more as desired
- A sprinkle of chopped parsley optional
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a medium pot and add the onion, carrots, and bay leaf. Sauté for about 4 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for a minute.
- Add the flour to create a paste and cook for about a minute stirring constantly.
- Slowly add the mild in parts and stir until it’s well combined. Add the Dijon mustard to the now thickish sauce.
- Add the broccoli florets (and any chopped-up stems) and then add the stock and bouillon powder. Stir to combine. Put the lid on the pot and allow to simmer over a low heat for about 20 minutes and until the broccoli is cooked through.
- Using a stick blender blitz about half the soup leaving the other half with whole pieces of broccoli.
- Add the cheese and allow this to melt into the sauce and continue cooking for a minute or two. Check seasoning and adjust by adding salt and freshly ground pepper if necessary.
Notes
- Any leftover soup can be stored in the fridge or freezer.
