Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 cups Broccoli florets, chopped
• 1 cup Carrots, grated
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir continuously for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain.

Step 5

Add the heavy cream and milk, then bring the soup base to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped broccoli florets and grated carrots, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup slightly to achieve your desired consistency (leave some chunks for texture, if preferred). Alternatively, transfer a portion of the soup to a countertop blender, puree, and return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and incorporate the salt, black pepper, and optional paprika for seasoning.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with extra shredded cheddar cheese or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired. Pair with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
