Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

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

Liquids and Dairy

  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Other Ingredients

  • 1–2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Melt one to two tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the diced onions in butter until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the diced carrots along with salt and pepper, cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and sauté, stirring continuously, for 30 seconds to develop flavor.
  2. Simmer Potatoes: Add the peeled and cubed potatoes and the chicken stock to the pot. Cover and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the potatoes start to become tender.
  3. Add Broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets and continue simmering for another 10 minutes or until both the broccoli and potatoes are fork-tender and cooked through.
  4. Thicken Soup: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with milk until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Gradually stir this mixture into the hot soup, allowing it to thicken evenly.
  5. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and mix until it is fully melted and incorporated into the soup, creating a creamy texture.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and enjoy immediately as a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Broth: For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken stock with vegetable broth.
  • Cheese: You can swap the sharp cheddar for your favorite cheese such as Monterey Jack or Gruyère for different flavor profiles.
  • Consistency: Adjust the soup thickness by adding more milk or broth if too thick, or simmer a little longer if too thin.
  • Storage: Allow leftovers to cool to room temperature before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Best consumed within 3 days.
