Ingredients
- 6 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 1 onion diced
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2-4 cups vegetable broth add as needed
- 3 cups fresh broccoli chopped into bite size pieces
- 1 1/2 cups carrot julienned
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until translucent. Stir a few times. Once done, remove the skillet from heat and set it aside.
- Next, place a medium-heavy bottom pot or Dutch over medium heat.
- Once the pot is warm, add 4 tablespoons of butter and melt. Once melted, add the flour and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir constantly with a whisk. While still whisking, add the chicken broth. Stir to combine.
- Add the heavy cream, stir to combine, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add the broccoli, carrots, and cooked onion. Add nutmeg. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
- Once done, you can leave the soup chunky or blend about 1/2 of the soup, by adding it to a blender or using an immersion blender. After blessing the soup, stir it in for a smoother soup.
- Return to low heat and add the cheddar cheese.
- Serve warm with extra cheddar cheese. Enjoy!
