Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Healthy Fact of the Day

This broccoli cheddar soup is a comforting and nutritious option. Broccoli is packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, while carrots provide additional vitamins and antioxidants. The milk and cheddar cheese contribute protein and calcium, making this soup a well-balanced meal.

Ingredients

 

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth

  • 2 carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

 

Instructions

 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

  3. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.

  4. Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

  6. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli and carrots are tender.

  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

  9. Serve the broccoli cheddar soup hot, garnished with extra shredded cheddar or croutons if desired.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
