BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR SOUP
A staple of any fast-casual restaurant, broccoli-cheddar soup has somewhat of a cult following on the internet. Thicker than cream of broccoli, this roux-thickened soup can be puréed completely smooth or left chunky and rustic. Either way, be sure to use the sharpest Cheddar available (white or orange work here). It'll provide richness in addition to a necessary acidity.

Steps:
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add broccoli, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is bright green and slightly tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a large cooking spoon, transfer broccoli mixture to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Heat remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the same pot over medium heat (don't worry about any remaining broccoli bits). Add flour and whisk constantly, cooking until the mixture has turned a pale golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth until no lumps remain (it'll thicken considerably at first), followed by half-and-half. Bring to a simmer and stir in cheese, nutmeg and all but 1 cup of the reserved broccoli mixture.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid has thickened and reduced by about 1/4 and the broccoli is completely tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Using a hand blender, purée the soup to desired consistency. (Some like to leave bits of broccoli in there. It is up to you how smooth or chunky the soup is.) Alternatively, transfer to a blender and purée to desired consistency.
- Season soup with salt and pepper, and divide among bowls. Top with remaining 1 cup broccoli, more Cheddar (if you like), and lots of freshly ground pepper.

FRESH BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR SOUP
This soup is easy comfort food using fresh (not frozen) broccoli and real cheddar cheese. It takes about half an hour to forty minutes to make, but it's so much better than any soup from a can. I like to leave some of the broccoli in large chunks rather than pureeing it all.

Steps:
- Warm butter and olive oil in a large pot. Add broccoli (chopped into small piece) and onions and saute for a few minutes.
- Add the vegetable stock and and simmer until the broccoli is cooked (20-30mins).
- Pour into a blender and puree. I like it a little chunky so I do a quick puree.
- Return to pot and add the Worcestershire sauce, heavy cream and cheddar, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Simmer on low for 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in sherry and parsley and remove from heat. Garnish with Sprig of parsley and any remaining crumbled aged cheddar!
Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a better flavor and texture than frozen broccoli. If you're using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it's tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its flavor and nutrients.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The type of cheddar cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bolder flavor, or a mild cheddar cheese for a more subtle flavor.
- Add some other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes. This will make the soup even more nutritious and flavorful.
- Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and add more salt, pepper, or other seasonings as needed.
Conclusion:
Broccoli cheddar soup is a delicious and comforting soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying soup, give this broccoli cheddar soup a try.
