Equipment

  • Deep pot

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 large onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 cups broccoli finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • In a deep pot, add the butter and place it over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and garlic and stir fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken broth and heavy cream and finely chopped broccoli, smoked paprika, pepper, and salt and bring it to a boil. Once it begins to boil, reduce to low and simmer for 20 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
  • Add the cheddar cheese in half a cup at a time until combined. Remove from the heat and serve with extra shredded cheese and chopped parsley on top.

Notes

Ingredient tip: Use freshly grated cheddar from a block instead of pre-shredded bagged cheese to prevent a grainy texture and ensure a smooth melt.
Temperature tip: Avoid boiling the soup after the cream and cheddar have been added. High heat can cause the dairy to split and the cheese to turn stringy.
Storage: Cool the soup completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator at 40 °F or below.
Reheating: Warm the soup gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently. Avoid bringing it to a boil to prevent the cheese and cream from separating.
