Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1 medium potato, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Add Vegetables: Add the diced potato and broccoli florets to the pot. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and absorb the flavors.

      Simmer with Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli and potatoes are tender.

        Blend the Soup: Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can blend only half of the soup or leave it as is for a creamy finish.

          Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, then gradually add the grated cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. If needed, adjust the seasoning with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper for added heat.

            Serve: Ladle the creamy broccoli cheddar soup into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of cheddar, if desired.
