Instructions
- In a dutch oven or large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic in the butter for 2-3 minutes. ¼ cup salted butter, ½ cup diced onion, 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Add the flour and quickly whisk. ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- Pour in one cup of the chicken stock, and whisk until the mixture is smooth. 3 cups chicken stock
- Add the remaining 2 cups of chicken stock and whisk again.
- Add in the milk, heavy cream, dijon mustard, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Whisk constantly over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until the mixture starts to steam and almost comes to a boil. Then turn the stovetop medium-low heat. 1 cup 2% milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, dash hot pepper sauce
- Add in the broccoli and shredded carrots. Cook, stirring often, for about 15-20 minutes until the broccoli is tender. The exact timing will depend on the size of the broccoli florets. 3 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup shredded carrots
- If you'd like a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to purée about one third to half of the soup. Or you can leave the soup with the larger vegetable pieces.
- Once the broccoli is tender, turn the heat to low and add in the shredded cheddar cheese, about ¼ cup at a time, stirring so that the cheese melts between each addition. 3 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Serve immediately.
