Equipment
- immersion blender
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli Florets (chopped)
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion (diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
- 2 cups Chicken Broth (gluten free)
- 2 cups Whole Milk
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 1/2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle the gluten free flour blend over the onion and stir constantly for about 1 minute to form a roux.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously, then add the milk and heavy cream. Stir until smooth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the chopped broccoli florets, onion powder, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is very tender.
- Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some chunky broccoli pieces for texture. Alternatively, transfer about 2 cups of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and stir it back into the pot.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time, stirring after each addition until completely melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.
