Broccoli Cheese Chowder image

There aren't that many recipes posted for broccoli cheese soup, and being one of my favourite comfort soups, I thought I would share mine. I like to sprinkle red pepper and put a small swirl of cream on top when I serve it.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium head broccoli
1 large potato, peeled & cubed
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Remove florets from broccoli head.
  • Cook florets in 4 cups water for 4 minutes, drain the florets, reserving the cooking water. Set florets aside for later. Chop broccoli stalk into small cubes.
  • Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan.
  • Add potatoes, onions and broccoli stalk, and saute for 10 minutes or until onion is soft.
  • Add cumin and flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add 3 cups of the reserved floret cooking water and the bouillon cubes, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until broccoli stalks are tender.
  • Stir in cream and cheese.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Puree the soup in a blender until smooth ( Be Careful if doing this while HOT).
  • Add the florets to the blender and pulse once, (this give the soup a nice green florety colour without totally destroying the florets).
  • Taste and season again if necessary.
  • Heat through before serving.

I'm lactose intolerant, so I used lactose-free milk and cheese. It was still very creamy and delicious.
