Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 3 cups whole milk
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, then cook the onion until soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
2. Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
3. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk while stirring to keep the mixture smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Add the broccoli florets, season with salt and pepper, and cook uncovered for 12 minutes until the broccoli is very tender.
5. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some broccoli chunks for texture.
6. Reduce heat to low, stir in the shredded cheddar a handful at a time until fully melted, then taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
