This Broccoli Cheddar soup is the perfect easy dinner for soup season! Packed with hearty vegetables, cheddar cheese, herbs and seasonings, as well as a combination of milk and cream, this soup is creamy, hearty, and oh so comforting!
This is the best broccoli cheese soup recipe I have come across, and I have tried a few!
You don’t need any fancy kitchen gadgets for this one, just a dutch oven or large pot, and your stovetop.
It’s made with simple ingredients, and only takes 30 minutes to make, so it ticks all of my boxes.
Broccoli and cheese are perfect together for making comfort food that also counts as healthy eating. The classic flavor combination is always a hit!
Ingredients Needed:
Vegetables: use chopped onion and carrots for a great savory flavor, and whole fresh broccoli florets for a burst of flavor, color, and nutrients!
Butter: unsalted butter will be fine here, as you will add salt to taste. If you use salted butter you may not need to add as much salt as specified later on.
Seasoning: fresh garlic cloves that you have minced yourself, as well as Italian seasoning, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and ground mustard blend together so well to pack a flavorful punch in this broccoli soup.
Flour: all-purpose flour will thicken the soup. You can use a Gluten Free alternative if you wish, but the amount you need may vary.
Broth: I use a low-sodium vegetable broth in this soup as I can better control the saltiness this way. Use vegetable stock in a pinch, or chicken broth or chicken stock for a slightly different flavor.
Milk and Cream: whole milk and heavy cream will give the creamy texture and flavor, or you can use evaporated milk in place of both.
Cheese: we use shredded sharp cheddar cheese for a strong cheesy flavor. You can use other cheeses as well if you wish.
