Broccoli Cheese Soup

September 18, 2017

This easy veggie filled soup is perfect for cold winter nights. Broccoli cheese soup is a favourite of mine at restaurants so I have been working on my own recipe that I can make at home and control the ingredients.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Ingredients 

  • 4 cups Broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 3 cups Chicken/Veggie Broth
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 2 cups Cheese, I usually use Cheddar or Marble

Directions

  • Steam broccoli
  • Meanwhile in large pot sautée onion and garlic till soft
  • Add flour and blend well, cook 1-2 min stirring constantly
  • Add broth and milk, whisking until smooth
  • Simmer 5-10 min
  • Add cheese and whisk in until smooth
  • Add broccoli and simmer 5-10 min

Enjoy!

This is a fairly basic recipe, that can easily be added to or adjusted. When I made this tonight I added celery and carrot with the onions, and added a bit of cauliflower with the broccoli. I find that 2% milk is a good compromise between fat content and a creamy taste. Feel free to use skim milk or cream depending on your preference. I have not tried this with non-dairy milk/cheese so I am not sure how it would turn out.
