Soup is good food, but Broccoli Cheese Soup is great food! As a kid I used to run around our house singing/screaming that slogan from the Campbell’s Soup commercials. That just may be one of the silly things kids do, but in my case the sentiment really stuck as I still adore soup. When it’s cold outside, few things make me feel as good as the smell emanating from a steaming bowl of heart warming soup.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Instructions

1
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes.
2
Sprinkle the flour on top of the onion, and use a whisk to work in the flour. Once it’s combined, cook the onion-flour mixture for 2 to 3 minutes.
3
Add the milk and half-and-half, whisking constantly until combined.
4
Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
5
Stir the broccoli florets into the soup. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low, then simmer the soup until it’s thickened and the broccoli is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
6
Stir in the chicken broth and check the consistency. The soup should be thick, but if it still seems too thick, splash in a little more broth.
7
Add the cheese and stir until melted. Serve the soup in bread bowls.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Toast Your Roux Properly 🔥
    Cook the flour and butter mixture for 1-2 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, to eliminate the raw flour taste and create a smooth, silky base for your soup.
  • Blanch Broccoli First 🥦
    Pre-cook broccoli florets in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes before adding to the soup to preserve their vibrant green color and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Layer Your Dairy Carefully 🥛
    Add the half and half and whole milk after the soup has cooled slightly to prevent curdling; stir in slowly while keeping heat at medium-low.
  • Add Nutmeg at the End ✨
    Reserve the ground nutmeg for the final minute of cooking to preserve its delicate aromatic qualities and prevent it from becoming too assertive during prolonged simmering.
  • Use Sharp Cheddar Technique 🧀
    Shred your cheese fresh and stir it in off the heat or at very low temperature in small batches to ensure it melts smoothly without becoming stringy or separating.
