Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

  • 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • ½ cup of chopped onions
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons of flour
  • 1 cup of half and half
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 4 cups of broccoli, chopped
  • 2 carrots, thinly grated
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 3 cups of sharp cheddar shredded cheese
  • 2 ounces of softened cream cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • black pepper to taste
  • salt to taste


Copycat Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Directions:

  1. Melt butter in a stock pot over medium high heat. Once butter has melted, add in onions and saute for 3-4 minutes and then add in garlic for the last 30 seconds.
  2. Whisk in flour and stir until flour mixture begins to turn a golden color. Slowly add in half and half, whisk until smooth, and then slowly add in chicken broth, and seasonings.
  3. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer mixture until thickened -about 9-10 minutes.
  4. Add in broccoli, carrots, and celery. Continue to cook at a simmer until vegetables reach desired tenderness, about 20 minutes or so. When vegetables have reached desired tenderness, reduce heat to low and add in cheese, cook an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. Serve.

Tips: Fresh is best! Use block cheddar cheese. If you can get a block and shred it yourself, go this route! Your soup will taste so much better! Additionally, to speed cooking time, steam broccoli before adding it into the soup.
