"When my husband and I visit fresh-food stands, we often come home with more vegetables than we can eat," Marge Hill shares from Glenside, Pennsylvania. "I lightened up this tarragon-flavored soup to use up the broccoli we buy. I like it with crusty bread, a salad or a sandwich."

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 tbsp olive oil

1 head of broccoli, stalks trimmed and cut into florets
1l chicken stock
250ml single cream

  • Blend until smooth and then stir in the cream. Continue to simmer on a low heat and gradually add the cheddar stirring continuously for around 10 minutes. Season and serve.

Tips:

  • To make the soup creamy and rich, use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or a blend of cheddar and Gruyère will give the soup a delicious flavor.
  • Fresh broccoli is best for this soup, but you can also use frozen broccoli if you don't have any fresh on hand. Just be sure to thaw the broccoli completely before adding it to the soup.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can puree the soup in a regular blender. Just be careful not to overfill the blender, or you could end up with soup all over your kitchen.
  • Serve the soup immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months.
