Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 16 ounces broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

Dairy & Butter

  • 1–2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Liquids & Broth

  • 4 cups chicken stock

Thickener & Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Melt one to two tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the diced onion in the butter until softened, about 3 minutes. Add diced carrots, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Finally, add minced garlic and sauté while stirring for 30 seconds to release its aroma.
  2. Simmer Potatoes: Add the chopped potatoes and chicken stock to the skillet. Cover and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to begin softening the potatoes.
  3. Add Broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets and continue simmering until both the broccoli and potatoes are tender, roughly another 10 minutes. The potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Thicken Soup: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the milk until smooth. Gradually stir the cornstarch-milk mixture into the hot soup to thicken the broth evenly.
  5. Add Cheese: Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese gradually, stirring continuously until the cheese has fully melted into the soup, creating a creamy texture.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy this hearty and flavorful broccoli potato cheese soup as a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken stock with vegetable stock.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for more flavor; mild cheddar works if preferred.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste.
  • You can use fresh or frozen broccoli florets interchangeably.
  • If the soup becomes too thick, add a splash of milk or stock to reach desired consistency.
