BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR SOUP



Broccoli and Cheddar Soup image

A staple of any fast-casual restaurant, broccoli-cheddar soup has somewhat of a cult following on the internet. Thicker than cream of broccoli, this roux-thickened soup can be puréed completely smooth or left chunky and rustic. Either way, be sure to use the sharpest Cheddar available (white or orange work here). It'll provide richness in addition to a necessary acidity.

Categories     dinner, lunch, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 pounds broccoli, florets with stems peeled and trimmed to 3 inches
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups half and half
8 ounces very sharp Cheddar, grated, plus more for the top
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add broccoli, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is bright green and slightly tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a large cooking spoon, transfer broccoli mixture to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Heat remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the same pot over medium heat (don't worry about any remaining broccoli bits). Add flour and whisk constantly, cooking until the mixture has turned a pale golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in chicken broth until no lumps remain (it'll thicken considerably at first), followed by half-and-half. Bring to a simmer and stir in cheese, nutmeg and all but 1 cup of the reserved broccoli mixture.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid has thickened and reduced by about 1/4 and the broccoli is completely tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Using a hand blender, purée the soup to desired consistency. (Some like to leave bits of broccoli in there. It is up to you how smooth or chunky the soup is.) Alternatively, transfer to a blender and purée to desired consistency.
  • Season soup with salt and pepper, and divide among bowls. Top with remaining 1 cup broccoli, more Cheddar (if you like), and lots of freshly ground pepper.

FRESH BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR SOUP



Fresh Broccoli and Cheddar Soup image

This soup is easy comfort food using fresh (not frozen) broccoli and real cheddar cheese. It takes about half an hour to forty minutes to make, but it's so much better than any soup from a can. I like to leave some of the broccoli in large chunks rather than pureeing it all.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large head of broccoli

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups milk
1/2 lb sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
salt and pepper

  • Melt butter in a large sauce pan or dutch oven. Add the onion and saute about 5 minutes, until soft.
  • Add the flour and saute one minute longer mixing thoroughly with the butter and onions.
  • Add the chicken broth, broccoli, thyme and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Bring the heat down and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.
  • Puree the soup with an immersion blender (or in small batches in a food processor).
  • After pureeing, add the milk and bring the soup to a simmer.
  • Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese into the soup and stir until smooth. Keep the heat on low to prevent curdling.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and top with remaining shredded cheese.
