Grandma's Broccoli & Cheese Soup image

This simple, creamy soup is the best thing my grandma used to make me when I was sick as a kid. By cooking the broccoli just right, the soup retains a vibrant bright green color. Serve this as a starter to any meal or with a sandwich or salad for a complete meal. So good for you, too.I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I did.It...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 c thinly sliced yellow onions
1 Tbsp sliced garlic
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
5 c chicken stock or canned, low-sodium chicken broth
4 c broccoli florets
1 1/2 c (6 ounces) shredded medium sharp cheddar cheese
simple croutons, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart stockpot over medium heat. When it is hot, add the onions, garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper. Saute until the onions are soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • 2. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Once the stock is boiling, add the broccoli and cook until fork-tender, about 5 minutes.
  • 3. Remove the soup from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then puree the soup, in batches, in a blender, adding the cheese in three additions while blending. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, garnish with croutons if desired, and serve hot.
  • 4. Please use caution when blending hot liquids; blend only small amounts at a time, with the blender tightly covered and a kitchen towel held over the top

This soup is a waste of time and ingredients. It's bland, watery, and has no flavor. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This soup is way too cheesy for my taste. I'll definitely reduce the amount of cheese next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out too thick. I had to add some milk to thin it out.
