Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 16 ounces broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

Liquids & Dairy

  • 4 cups chicken stock (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Others

  • 1–2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Melt one to two tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the diced onion in butter until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add diced carrots, salt, and pepper, cooking for another 3-4 minutes, then add minced garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds to release its aroma and flavor.
  2. Simmer Potatoes: Add the peeled and chopped potatoes and chicken broth to the skillet. Cover the pan and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes until the potatoes start to soften.
  3. Add Broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets and continue simmering the soup on medium heat until both broccoli and potatoes are tender and fork-tender, approximately 10 more minutes.
  4. Thicken Soup: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and milk until smooth without lumps. Stir this mixture slowly into the hot soup to thicken it evenly.
  5. Add Cheese: Finally, add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the soup and stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the soup turns creamy and smooth.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy this comforting bowl of Broccoli Potato Cheese Soup!

Notes

  • Broth: For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Cheese: Use your favorite type of cheese like gouda or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
  • Consistency: Adjust thickness by adding more milk or broth if the soup is too thick, or simmer longer if too thin.
  • Storage: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days after it cools to room temperature.
