A delightful and creamy soup featuring tender broccoli and rich cheddar cheese, perfect for a cozy meal.
Prepare the broccoli by washing it thoroughly and cutting it into small florets.
Cut the broccoli into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
In a saucepan, bring a small amount of salted water to a boil and cook the broccoli until tender. Drain and set aside.
Avoid overcooking the broccoli to maintain its vibrant green color.
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from browning.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and stir to create a roux. Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
Add the broth slowly to ensure a smooth consistency.
Pour in the cream and continue to cook until the mixture thickens slightly.
Stir constantly to prevent the cream from curdling.
Season with salt and nutmeg, then add the cooked broccoli back into the saucepan.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
Add the cheese gradually to ensure it melts evenly.
Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread or your favorite garnish.
Garnish with extra cheese or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
