What you’ll need:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 4 cups broccoli
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 3 ½ cups cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum (optional, for thickening)
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Chop onion and press garlic cloves.
Dice broccoli. I used my Rapid-Prep Mandoline to do this, it was so easy and quick!
Add butter to Dutch Oven over medium heat. Once melted, add onions and garlic; sauté 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the cheese to the Dutch Oven, and bring to a boil. Once soup comes to a boil, reduce heat to LOW, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until broccoli is tender.
Grate 3 1/2 cups cheddar cheese.
Once soup is cooked, add in the cheese, about ½ cup at a time, stirring to incorporate after each addition. Garnish with parsley or chives, and serve with additional grated cheese. You can also add in the Xanthan Gum to thicken if you wish.
That’s it! It really is a fantastic recipe. Please let me know if you give this a try. Please do go and check out Arman over at https://thebigmansworld.com. Let’s make great food together!
