Equipment
  • saucepan
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk/mixer
Ingredients
  
  • 2 pieces broccoli chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup onion chopped
  • 2 tsp celery chopped
  • 2-3 baby carrots chopped
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • TT pepper
Instructions
 
  • Grab a medium saucepan and add the butter, then allow it to melt over medium-high heat.
    Once the butter has melted, you can add in the baby carrots and the onion, finely chopped.
    Saute the veggies and stir frequently to prevent them from burning. You may also lower the heat if necessary.
  • Once the carrots and the onion have softened, it is time to pour in the chicken stock, and add the chopped celery, as well.
    Give the mixture a good stir to allow all the textures and ingredients to combine.
  • Now it's time to add in the star of the dish - chopped broccoli. Stir the broccoli soup one more time, then add in salt and pepper.
    Cook the soup over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, or until you're satisfied with the consistency and the texture of the broccoli.
    If you prefer the broccoli pieces to be a bit more tender, you may have to cook the soup a bit longer.
  • While the soup is cooking, you can use this time to prepare the cheesy component that makes this soup so irresistible.
    For this cheddar cheese "gravy", you will need to combine cornstarch and mix into a nicely blended paste.
    Add the milk and the cornstarch to a mixing bowl, then whisk them together or use a mixer to mix them together without any lumps.
  • Pour the milk and cornstarch mixture into the soup and lower the heat. Remember to stir the broccoli soup as you're adding the mixture to avoid any lumps.
    Once the milk mixture and the broccoli soup have married together, let the soup simmer on low for a few minutes before adding in the cheese.
  • Once the soup has reached the desired consistency, add in the cheddar cheese and allow it to melt into the soup.
    Sprinkle some garlic powder for more flavor, then taste the soup and check if more seasoning is needed.
  • Cook the broccoli cheese soup for about 10 minutes over low heat, then remove from the heat and serve with chopped thyme, and some extra cheddar cheese on top.
