Ingredients

• 4 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 medium, chopped Onion
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups, shredded Sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté for about 3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the broccoli florets to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and allow the soup to heat through on low heat, about 3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and cream cheese to the pot, stirring consistently until both cheeses are fully melted and incorporated into the soup.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese or a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired.
