Delicious broccoli and cheese soup

Broccoli and cheese soup …creamy, delicious and ready to go in 30 minutes!

This recipe was inspired by a little bakery I visited in NYC. Their broccoli and cheese soup with bread bowls was my absolute favorite! I’ve tried making it and never seemed to have the ingredients right. I finally have the perfect recipe. This soup is rich, creamy and perfect for a cold winter day. Heck, I’d even eat this soup on a hot summer day. It is just that good! My whole family loved it. We cannot wait to make it again.

Delicious broccoli and cheese soup

Yield: 4

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup melted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup flour
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 cup steamed broccoli (cut into small pieces)
3/4 cup shredded carrots
2 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:

In a large pan begin to melt butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and let cook for about a minute. Whisk in flour and cook for a few minutes, just until golden brown.
Slowly add in chicken stock, half-and-half, kosher salt, white pepper and nutmeg. Stir together and let cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add in the broccoli and carrots and let simmer for another 20 minutes.
Mix in cheese and stir until just combined. Serve in bread bowls or with rolls.

I picked up the bread bowls at a local bakery, but I cannot wait to try and make my own someday!

  I believe that was a sour dough bread bowl! I’ve tried this soup with many different types of bread and rolls though and they are all delicious! :)

  Hi Kathy! Half-n-half is half heavy cream and half whole milk. Hope that helps, the soup is delicious!

  Hi Kathryn! Half-n-half is half heavy cream and half whole milk. I use it in my morning coffee every day. :-)

Hi Jamielyn can you explain to me what half and half is. I live in Australia so what would be our equivalent.
Would love to try your brocolli / cheese soup.
Thanx Carol

  Hi Carol! Half’n’half is mixture of half heavy cream and half whole milk. I put it in my morning coffee, so I keep a good supply in the house. :-)
