Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1.5 cups reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 spray cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Spray a large pot with cooking spray and place over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, shredded carrot, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Add the broccoli florets to the pot, followed by the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.

Step 4

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup in the pot until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup and leave some broccoli pieces whole.

Step 5

Stir in the unsweetened almond milk and bring the soup back to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the soup, stirring continuously to thicken.

Step 7

Once the soup is slightly thickened, reduce the heat to low and stir in the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese, a handful at a time. Allow the cheese to melt completely and incorporate into the soup.

Step 8

Season the soup with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Serve the soup warm in bowls and enjoy. Garnish with additional shredded cheese if desired.
