Ingredients

• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the broccoli florets and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (along with their juices) and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

Step 6

Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes while stirring frequently to melt the cheese and fully incorporate the flavors.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
