Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free option.
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent.
  • Add the broccoli florets along with the broth and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the broccoli is tender, which should take about 10 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it achieves a smooth consistency.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and cheddar cheese, cooking just long enough for the cheese to melt.
  • Season with salt and pepper to your taste, then serve hot.

Notes

Garnishing with additional shredded cheese or crispy turkey bacon bits enhances the dish. Pairs well with fresh garden salad or low-carb garlic bread.
