Ingredienser
  

  • 8 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for serving

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
  • Add the onion to the pot and cook until it softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the broccoli florets, chicken broth, and smoked paprika. 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 chunks for texture.
  • Stir in the heavy cream along with most of the cooked bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with the remaining bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.

Crisp the bacon fully before removing it so the smoky flavor carries through the broth. If the soup thickens after sitting, add a splash of broth when reheating on the stove. The cheddar works best sprinkled on top rather than stirred in so it melts into each bite.
