Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 16 ounces broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté diced onion until softened (about 3 minutes).
  2. Add diced carrots, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in chicken stock and add chopped potatoes. Cover and bring to a simmer, cooking for about 10 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  5. Add broccoli florets and continue simmering until both broccoli and potatoes are fork-tender (about 10 minutes more).
  6. Mix cornstarch with milk in a small bowl until smooth; pour into the hot soup to thicken.
  7. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted.
  8. Serve hot.

Notes

For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender briefly after adding cheese. Garnish with extra cheese or fresh herbs for added flavor.
