🧂 Ingredients
-
4 cups fresh broccoli florets (or frozen, thawed)
-
2 tbsp butter
-
1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
-
3 cups chicken broth
-
1 cup heavy cream

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Broccoli
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
Add broccoli florets and cook until tender (about 5–6 minutes).
Step 2: Blend (Optional)
For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to lightly puree the soup — leave some chunks for texture if desired.
Step 3: Add Cream and Cheese
Lower heat to medium. Stir in butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
Add shredded cheese gradually, stirring until melted and creamy.
Step 4: Serve Warm
Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra cheddar and a sprinkle of paprika.
