BROCCOLI SOUP WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE



Broccoli Soup with Cheddar Cheese image

"As a student at Bloomsburg University, I spent many Sunday afternoons at Russell's restaurant in downtown Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania," writes Marganne Hoffman of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. "A decade after graduating, I still crave their cheddar-crusted broccoli soup. I would be thrilled if the owners would share the recipe-and so would my family." The stems and florets are added to the soup separately so that the stems will cook until tender and the florets won't overcook.

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, room temperature
2 pounds fresh broccoli, stems and florets separated and chopped into bite-size pieces

BROCCOLI SOUP WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE



Broccoli Soup With Cheddar Cheese image

This is a nice soup from Bon Appetit. Be sure to use fresh tarragon for the best flavor. This soup is not thick and creamy, so sometimes I puree half of it for a creamier texture.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 lbs broccoli, bite size pieces

Tips:

- **Choose the right cheese.** A good broccoli cheddar cheese soup starts with a good cheese. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a bold flavor, or a milder cheese like Monterey Jack or fontina for a more subtle flavor. - **Don't overcook the broccoli.** Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will make the soup watery and bland. - **Use a good quality vegetable broth.** The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with fresh vegetables. - **Season the soup to taste.** Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder. - **Serve the soup with your favorite toppings.** Broccoli cheddar cheese soup is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, bacon bits, or shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cheddar cheese soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious bowl of broccoli cheddar cheese soup that your family and friends will love.
