Broccoli cheese soup always reminds me of when I was a kid! My mom makes the best broccoli and cheese soup. I was craving it the other day, so I decided to make up a recipe for it of my own!
I’m so glad I did, because the result was amazing, and eating it is like eating comfort food!
CREAMY BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups chopped red onion
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1-16oz. package of frozen broccoli, rinsed
- 1.5 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
- sea salt, to taste
- 3 cups chicken broth (or veggie broth)
- 1 cup almond milk
- 3 cups shredded cheese of your choice (I used medium cheddar)
- 2 tsp. arrowroot powder
Directions
1.) Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes.
2.) Add the broccoli, garlic powder, thyme, sea salt, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and boil for 10-15 minutes.
3.) While the broccoli is boiling, shred your cheese and sprinkle it with the arrowroot powder. Mix to coat the cheese. Set aside.
4.) Reduce heat to medium (a low simmer), and use a potato masher to mash the broccoli to your liking. I left some pieces in tact, but mashed up most of it.
5.) Add the almond milk and the cheese. Cook for 12 minutes, stirring frequently.
6.) Transfer to a bowl and season with sea salt to taste. Top with some shredded cheese if desired.
So creamy and yummy! Enjoy!
