Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into ½-inch cubes
  • 16 ounces broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

Liquids & Dairy

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1–2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Thickening & Seasoning

  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Melt one to two tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Next, add the diced carrots along with salt and pepper, cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes. Finally, stir in minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds to bring out the aromatic flavors.
  2. Simmer Potatoes: Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a pot and add the peeled and chopped potatoes along with 4 cups of chicken stock. Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes until the potatoes start to become tender.
  3. Add Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the pot. Continue to simmer until both the broccoli and potatoes are tender, approximately 10 more minutes. The potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork at this stage.
  4. Thicken Soup: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and milk until smooth and lump-free. Slowly stir this mixture into the hot soup, allowing it to thicken the broth evenly.
  5. Add Cheese: Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the soup and stir continuously until the cheese has fully melted and the soup turns creamy and smooth.
  6. Serve: Pour the soup into bowls, serve hot, and enjoy the comforting, cheesy goodness of this delicious broccoli potato cheese soup.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, replace chicken stock with vegetable broth.
  • Use low-fat milk for a lighter version of the soup.
  • If you prefer a smoother soup, blend partially after cooking before adding the cheese.
  • This soup can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
  • Adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can enhance the flavor profile.
