Broccoli cheddar soup recipe

Use an immersion blender to purée the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup. Alternatively, transfer portions to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.

Add the Cheese and Cream

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, a handful at a time, allowing it to melt completely before adding more.

Add the heavy cream and stir until well combined.

Season and Serve

Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot, garnished with additional cheddar cheese, croutons, or a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.

Tips for Success

Cheese Choice: Use freshly shredded cheddar for the smoothest melt. Pre-shredded cheese can make the soup grainy.

Thicker Soup: Add 1-2 tablespoons of flour to the onions while sautéing for a thicker soup base.

Customize: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for extra flavor.
