Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup milk

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets (extra)
  • 1/4 cup diced carrots (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Saute: Heat oil in a pot over medium heat and sauté the chopped garlic and sliced onions until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Boil Veggies: Add the broccoli florets, peeled and cubed potatoes, salt, and water to the pot. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the broccoli and potatoes are fork tender.
  3. Blend Soup: Allow the cooked vegetable mixture to cool slightly, then transfer it to a blender. Add the milk and blend until the soup is smooth and creamy.
  4. Simmer: Pour the blended soup back into the pot. Add the extra broccoli florets and diced carrots if using. Simmer the soup for another 5-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Turn off the heat and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative for a lactose-free option.
  • Adjust the salt to taste, especially if using salted cheese.
  • For extra creaminess, add a splash of cream or use a higher-fat milk.
  • The optional carrots add sweetness and texture but can be omitted if preferred.
  • This soup can be garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
