3 cups chopped broccoli florets
2 large carrots, peeled and diced
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
🧑🍳 Directions:
Sauté Onion and Garlic:
In a large saucepan or pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the Vegetables:
Add the diced potatoes, chopped broccoli, and diced carrots to the pot.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and mix well.
Simmer the Soup:
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add Cream and Cheese:
Stir in the heavy cream and grated cheddar cheese until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is creamy.
Add the paprika, dried thyme, and dried basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Blend (Optional):
For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend some of the soup to your desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can skip this step.
