Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 lb broccoli florets about 4-5 cups
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg optional

Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • 1 Immersion Blender or Regular Blender

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the cubed potatoes and broth to the pot. Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until potatoes begin to soften.
  3. Add the broccoli florets to the pot. Cover and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, until both potatoes and broccoli are very tender.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer in batches to a standing blender and blend until smooth.
  5. Return the pot to low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Do not let the soup boil. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the best flavor, use a good quality, sharp cheddar cheese and grate it yourself.
If the soup is too thick, you can thin it out with a little more broth or cream until it reaches your desired consistency.
