Creamy Broccoli cheesy Soup
Ingredients
1 tablespoon melted butter
3/4 medium to large chopped onion depending on if you like onion
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup flour (i used whole wheat)
1 T. wet minced garlic (i added)
2 1/2 cups half-and-half.....(i used whole milk)
4 cups chicken stock
1 lb. (16 oz.) fresh or frozen broccoli florets
1 cup grated carrot
Kosher salt and freshly grated pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese (i used 6oz)
optional...1 lb. shredded chicken
Directions
Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat, and sauté onion and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes (salt). Add additional butter and flour, whisking for 3-5 minutes to create a roux. Whisk while adding the half-and-half and chicken stock. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir in the broccoli florets and grated carrot and shredded chicken. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Simmer over low heat for 30-35 minutes.
Remove soup from heat and pulse with an immersion blender until smooth. Or, puree the soup in batches in a food processor until smooth, adding mixture back to the pot. Add chicken
Return pot to low heat and stir in cheddar cheese. Simmer for 10 minutes, and serve.
Enjoy!
