Instructions
- Place a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the butter, onions, and garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes to soften. Then add the flour and stir well so that the flour coats the onion pieces.
- Pour in the broth and low-fat milk. Then stir in the broccoli florets, sea salt, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the largest broccoli florets are tender.
- Finally stir in the shredded cheese. Stir to thicken the soup as the cheese melts. Then turn off the heat and serve.
