This Broccoli with Cheese Soup is a warm, comforting classic that brings together tender broccoli, sautéed carrots and onions, and a rich, velvety cheddar cheese base. The soup begins with a buttery sauté of aromatics, followed by gently simmered broccoli broken into bite-sized pieces to ensure every spoonful is hearty and satisfying.
Thickened with a milk-and-flour mixture and seasoned with garlic, salt, and pepper, the soup becomes deliciously creamy once the cheese is stirred in. Perfect for chilly days, this wholesome soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or crispy crackers for a cozy, feel-good meal.
