Ingredienser
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it softens, about 4 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  • Add the broccoli florets and chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup, leaving some broccoli pieces for texture.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
  • Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until fully melted and the soup is smooth.

merknader

For the best texture, shred the cheddar from a block rather than using pre-shredded cheese, which can make the soup grainy. If the soup thickens too much after cooling, stir in a splash of broth or cream when reheating on the stove. This version stays low-carb by relying on the broccoli and cream for body instead of any thickeners.
