Broccoli cheddar soup recipe

Instructions:

1️⃣ Sauté aromatics: Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft (about 5 minutes).
2️⃣ Simmer broccoli: Add broccoli and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes (until broccoli is fork-tender).
3️⃣ Blend smooth: Use an immersion blender (or carefully transfer to a blender) to purée the soup.
4️⃣ Add cream & cheese: Stir in heavy cream and cheddar until melted and velvety. Season with salt and pepper.
5️⃣ Serve warm: Ladle into bowls and top with extra cheese if desired. Perfect with crusty bread!

Enjoy your cozy, cheesy bowl of goodness! Let me know if you’d like a twist—like adding carrots or a dash of nutmeg. 😊🍲
