Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Blender (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp of butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups broccoli cut into small florets or use a food processor to chop in smaller pieces
  • 3 1/4 cups chicken broth vegetable broth, or bone broth
  • 1 1/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 3 cups cheddar cheese grated white or yellow or both (if you like strong cheese, you can use extra-sharp cheddar cheese) and reserve a small amount for garnishing bowls.
  • 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum optional – to thicken the soup

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot over medium heat, sauté garlic with butter for one minute.
  • Add the chopped broccoli, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Increase heat to bring to a boil and stir occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until broccoli is tender.
  • At very low heat, add the shredded cheddar cheese gradually (1/2 cup at a time), stirring constantly, and continue to stir until melted. Remove from heat once all the cheese has melted.
  • Serve hot

IF YOU PREFER TO PUREE THE SOUP OR NEED TO BECAUSE OF CLUMPING

  • In a large pot over medium heat, sauté garlic with butter for one minute.
  • Add the chopped broccoli, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Increase heat to bring to a boil and stir occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, until broccoli is tender.
  • At very low heat, add the shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly, and continue to stir until melted.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add the soup to a blender and puree.
  • Serve hot

Notes

  1. If you find the soup to be liquidy, whisk the thickener with some water, then whisk the mixture into the soup. Stir until the soup thickens. If you want the soup even more thicker, repeat the step above.
  2. You can use fresh or frozen broccoli. The frozen broccoli might cook a little quicker once it thaws in the soup. Simmer until the fresh or frozen broccoli is soft and tender.
